One customer in Virginia shares an experience with us:
“By far, this was the best move we have had to endure. Very professional crew. And the most important aspect of all was the high standard of integrity. No hidden fees and delivered everything that was promised.”
That kind of follow-through reflects what National Van Lines has practiced for nearly 100 years: dependable, transparent service built on genuine care.
Why Long Distance Moves Really Get Delayed
The biggest challenge in long distance moving isn’t distance; it’s mismanaged expectations. Many moving delays happen when families are given incomplete or unrealistic delivery timelines. The main culprits include:
- Overpromising delivery dates to secure a booking
- Underestimating shipment size or route complexity
- Poor internal communication between dispatch and drivers
- Hidden scheduling buffers that families never see
When movers avoid transparency, families and businesses are left waiting, often with little explanation.

What Families Should Know Before Hiring Long Distance Movers
Many long distance moving companies quietly build in “flex days” to protect their schedules, leaving families in limbo. At National Van Lines, we believe honesty comes first. This value means giving your family a realistic schedule from day one and updating you immediately if plans change.
Before choosing any mover, verify their record through the FMCSA Company Snapshot. When you’re ready to plan your next move, visit National Van Lines Long Distance Moving Services or get an instant, transparent quote using our Move Calculator.
