Local moves are priced per volume; long-distance adds mileage and freight.
Full packing, bulky items and storage add to the base transport cost.

Alabaster sits farther south down I-65, so a local move into central Birmingham adds a few minutes versus the over-the-mountain suburbs, though crews still bill by the hour. Long-distance rates track shipment weight and mileage. Newer subdivisions offer easy driveway and garage loading, and Alabama's May-to-September heat means crews hydrate and start early.
