Wisconsin & Illinois Long Distance Movers — Interstate & Cross-Country Moving

First-Rate Moving Services

MACS Moving & Storage is a licensed interstate moving company (US DOT #2386699 | MC #820142) based in Lake Geneva, WI. We handle long-distance and out-of-state moves for families and businesses throughout Southeast Wisconsin and Northern Illinois — moving you anywhere in the 48 contiguous states with the same care we’d give a neighbor.

How Our Long Distance Moving Process Works

We take the guesswork out of long-distance moving with a clear, step-by-step process:

Step 1: Free In-Home or Virtual Estimate
We assess your belongings and provide a detailed written quote — no surprises on moving day.

Step 2: Custom Moving Plan
We coordinate your move dates, packing needs, route, and any storage requirements.

Step 3: Professional Packing (Optional)
Our team arrives with all materials — boxes, bubble wrap, moving blankets — and packs everything with the same care we’d use for our own belongings.

Step 4: Secure Transport
Your belongings are loaded and transported in our fully insured trucks. We track every mile.

Step 5: Delivery & Unloading
We deliver to your new home on the agreed date and unload everything where you want it.

Professional Packing Services

Eliminate the hassle of packing by letting our professionals handle it. We arrive with all the supplies — boxes, tape, bubble wrap, and moving blankets — and pack your belongings with the same care we’d use for our own. Ask about full-pack, partial-pack, or materials-only options when you get your quote.

Secure Storage During Your Move

Long-distance timing doesn’t always line up perfectly. If you need storage between your move-out and move-in dates, we can store your furniture and belongings at our secure Lake Geneva facility. Climate-controlled storage options are available for sensitive items.

Long Distance Moving FAQ

How far in advance should I book a long-distance move?
We recommend booking 4–8 weeks in advance, especially during peak summer months (May–September). Last-minute moves can sometimes be accommodated — call us to check availability.

How is the cost of a long-distance move calculated?
Long-distance moving costs are based on the weight of your shipment and the distance traveled. Additional services like packing, specialty item handling, and storage affect the final price. We provide detailed written estimates with no hidden fees.

Do you move out of state?
Yes. MACS is a licensed interstate moving company (US DOT #2386699 | MC #820142) and regularly moves customers from Wisconsin and Illinois to destinations across the country.

Do you offer packing services for long-distance moves?
Yes. Our professional packing team can pack your entire home or just specific items. We bring all materials — boxes, tape, bubble wrap, and moving blankets — and everything is covered under our liability protection.

What happens if something is damaged during the move?
All long-distance moves include basic valuation coverage. We also offer full replacement value protection for additional peace of mind. Ask your moving coordinator for details.

Local Expertise, National Reach

We know SE Wisconsin and Northern Illinois better than any national carrier — and we have the resources to get you anywhere in the country. As a family-owned business, we treat every long-distance move like we’re moving a neighbor. You’ll work with a dedicated moving coordinator, not an 800-number call center.
