Long-Distance Moving - Raleigh, NC

 Professional Long-Distance Moving Services in Apex & the Greater Raleigh Area

Crossing state lines with everything you own is a massive life event, and frankly, you shouldn't have to deal with a corporate dispatcher who treats your move like just another number on a spreadsheet. At Jones Helps U Move, we specialize in dedicated, long-distance relocations where the same crew that loads your truck is the same crew that shakes your hand at your new home. From the quiet streets of Apex to growing communities across the Triangle, my team and I bring the technical precision and neighborly heart required for a seamless transition.

The 'Long-Distance Planning Phase'

A Customized Flight Plan for your move
Every successful relocation starts with a real conversation about your specific needs, timeline, and budget - no 'one-size-fits-all' scripts here. Maybe you have fragile heirlooms that need special handling, or perhaps you're on a tight deadline for a new job. Either way, we build a tailored strategy to eliminate those moving-day surprises. Here is how we chart the course for a stress-free transition:

• Pre-Flight Prep: We dive into the details of your inventory, focusing on high-value items like pianos or safes that require specialized technical gear and extra care. This is a crucial step in the foundation of your moving journey. It is vitally important that you do not leave anything out. Even if it seems small to you, it may be an important piece of information for us to ensure everything runs smoothly. Knowing the items you have ahead of time is how we determine your truck size, quotes, and any moving equipment we need to have on hand. The best way for all of us to be on the same page is either a virtual or in-person walk-through with our expert estimator. Packing Logistics: This step is also where you would generally decide if you want to take advantage of our packing services so that we can plan accordingly (you can always add this service later, but the sooner the better). In the event that you'd like us to handle the boxing up, we'll discuss whether you would like for us to provide packing materials for you, or you can opt to provide your own. If you request our full packing services (meaning we would bring the materials), we ensure our truck arrives with every box, bubble wrap roll, and specialized container needed and requested - making this another reason why the walk-throughs are so helpful when it comes to planning. We want to be sure we have exactly what you need to feel confident about your move, even if you'd only like us to pack certain areas of your home while you handle the rest.
• The Manifest: I provide a transparent, all-in estimate so you aren't hit with any 'mystery fees' halfway through your journey. As long as you did not leave out major details in the planning step, everything will go as planned. We hold being honest with our clients in high-regard and keeping our word means something to us.  Our estimates will cover every fee. This includes our protective material fees, which cover the heavy-duty shrink wrap, moving pads, tape, and the specialized cardboard we use to shield your furniture. We believe every item deserves a first-class seat, so we make sure the gear needed to keep your belongings scratch-free is baked into the plan from day one. For long-distance moving, we will provide a flat travel fee and a fuel cost fee. Any specialized items will be examined and a price for moving the item will be shared with you clearly based on the item itself and if there will be flights of stairs involved. Once these fees are provided to you the only possibility they will change is if you make changes (as in adding extra stops, realizing you forgot to inform of us item(s) that cause a significant change, changing the destination, or you failed to be transparent with us).
• Secure Cargo: Our crew uses durable boxes and professional padding to safeguard your belongings, ensuring everything from a master suite in Cary to a full garage in Wake Forest is locked down for the long haul.
• The Dedicated Route: Unlike the big van lines that mix your life with five other families, your belongings stay on a dedicated long-distance truck with the same team from start to finish. Ensuring that what your belongings are exactly as they were when the truck door closes as when it's opened again at your new home.
• Safe Landing: We don't just drop boxes; we place your items exactly where you want them in your new home, checking in to see if you need any extra help unpacking or rearranging as you settle in. We take the term 'full-service moving' very seriously around here, and if it is within our power to do, we will do it (within reason, of course).
• Final Goodbye: Once we have successfully relocated your entire life's possessions and ensured you are completely happy with where everything sits, our long journey together sadly comes to a close. At Jones Helps U Move, we don't just gain clients with each relocation, we gain extensions of our business family. After working closely with you on every technical and personal aspect of your move, my team and I hope it won't be a permanent 'goodbye' but a 'see you later'. We take pride in being the friendly faces you can rely on whenever your next chapter begins.

Handling Common Concerns
Customers often express worries about the safety of their items during a long-distance move. 

Peace of Mind: I know that hand-picking a crew to drive your entire life across the country is a big decision. We address this by conducting thorough background checks. As a woman-owned company, I take your safety and the security of your home very seriously. I maintain a strict no-tolerance policy for theft or misconduct of any kind; I've heard the horror stories from this industry, and I simply won't stand for it. That is why every member of the Jones Helps U Move family undergoes rigorous background checks and continuous training to ensure they are as trustworthy as they are skilled.

Earning the title of 'Crew Leader' at my company is no small feat. It requires years of seasoned experience and a demonstrated ability to load a truck with technical precision - but more importantly, it requires a sincere sense of care for every move we attend. My leaders must teat this business as if it were their own, showing they have the knowledge and integrity to mentor our team without being instructed. You will never have a crew of novices at your door because I believe every client deserves the level of professionalism and sincerity I would want for my own family.

We also provide full insurance coverage  options so you can rest easy knowing you're protected every mile of the way.

Many clients express their concerns about delays.  I believe in being completely upfront and honest about the logistics of the road, because your schedule is just as important to us as it is to you. While we do everything possible to hit our timing exactly right, there are many factors - like heavy traffic or route changes - that can impact a long-distance arrival. Larger moving trucks are legally restricted to certain speeds and often have speed-governing devices not allowing them to always meet the speed limit a GPS would have taken into account when calculating the time of travel. There is also the safety of your items to keep in mind. Box trucks often are not the most gentle of rides, and we have to slow down over certain areas we see in the road (generally at the start/end of bridges and small to large potholes) to avoid any heavy jostling of your furniture and electronics. Route changes can occur due to roadways that do not allow heavy trucks or low bridges. Delays can happen, and that is me being honest with you - but my promise is that we will work tirelessly to stay on track and keep you informed every mile of the way.

What Sets U Apart

The JHUM Family Difference - Professional Precision with a Local Heart

To some, a move is just a series of boxes and a truck, but to me, it's the start of a brand-new chapter in your life, and I truly love being a part of that journey. Jones Helps U Move was built on the belief that moving should be more than a transaction; it should be one family helping another move forward. I care deeply about the success of every relocation we attend because I know the weight of what you're entrusting us with - your memories, your safety, and your future.

We don't show up just to do a job; we show up to give you the peace of mind that only comes from someone who genuinely cares about the outcome. From navigating a narrow hallway or securing a heavy heirloom, my team and I treat your belongings with the same sincerity and precision we would want for our own homes. This isn't just a business to me - it's a commitment to our neighbors that their move will be handled with the respect and heart it deserves. When I started JHUM I made a promise to uphold certain values. That is exactly why things like price transparency, background checking, and thorough training are so vital to me. We will never be just another typical moving company and we will always hold to standard of the values we've held from the start.
