The 4 Most Common Types of Moves
Most of us know how to move our belongings from Point A to Point B. It only takes a few experiences to get the hang of it, usually. But many of us aren’t experts on other components of moving, such as maximizing fuel usage or hiring the right professionals.
Similarly, you might be familiar with terms including in-town moving, in-state moving, state-to-state moving and international moving, but how much do you know about their differences? Let’s go over the four most common types of moves.
Whether residential or commercial, local moves involve relocations that remain in the same geographical region. For example, a move from Carrollton to Keller would qualify as a local DFW move. Many moving companies have a list of areas served so you can determine whether a move is in the local moving area or not. Whether from Mesquite to Arlington or from Denton to Lewisville, IMS Relocation can handle local moves throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Once you cross state lines, it’s a different type of move. Different states have different regulations when it comes to moves, taxes, accounting, and reporting. As such, there may be a higher premium involved. Also, you can’t beat the expertise that a moving company like IMS Relocation offers when it comes to avoiding common mistakes and identifying helpful tips that make the experience smoother. Whether you’re moving to Texas from another state or moving from DFW to Louisiana, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arkansas or beyond, we’re here for you.
If you want to stay in the grand state of Texas, we don’t blame you. We call Texas home and it’s one of the best places on the planet, but Texans relocate for a variety of reasons, whether due to a change in jobs, schools or living situations. They say everything is bigger in Texas, and this is definitely right when it comes to moving distances, as the Lone Star State has more land area than any other state except Alaska. So, you could move from Wichita Falls to El Paso and your move would still count as “interstate.”
Things get even more complicated and involved when you’re changing countries. Fortunately, the best international moving companies like IMS Relocation, have the experience, knowledge and partnerships to make it all go easier. With years of helping Texas move internationally, we know the logistics, paperwork, ideal timeline, and other factors typically involved in your international move.
