How do moving companies charge (by distance, weight, volume or hours)?

The simple answer is all of the above. While booking your move make sure you ask what the individual company charges and how. Some companies will incorporate charges from all the above options, some will only use a few. At True North Movers we charge by- Time x Number of Movers and Trucks+ Distance if the move is between cities.

There are some charges that exist outside of this along the lines of overweight items as well as Specialty items like pianos for example that require additional steps to ensure safe delivery. There are never any charges beyond what goes into your quote with True North Movers and we are clear about all potential charges and policies before your move ever begins!
