In trying to determine the best option for moving a small 1 br apartment I was told that 2000 lbs is the minimum load for a long distance move. Does anyone know if this is a general requirement or was just this mover?
Ask other movers. A different mover might piggy-back you on someone else's load going to a destination close to yours.
^^This. This is what Atlas Van Lines explained to me during both my interstate moves. They put my load at the end of the truck behind the more larger moves going to the same region. Good thing about this is that your load will more than likely get delivered to you quicker because they offload the smaller loads first to clear space for the larger ones. At the time, I had a one bedroom apt and moved from CLT to Dallas. It costs me roughly $3200(you pay when they drop off) and I had my stuff delivered within 3 days.
I think the minimum weight is less than 2000 lbs...maybe 1300 (?).
They are wonderful people to work with.
