Your move leaves Ballantyne on my truck and stays there
I’m Marvin Caldwell, and the part of the industry I built Marvin’s United Movers to fix is the handoff. Too many long-distance moves get loaded by one outfit, brokered to a stranger, and delivered weeks late by people who never met you. We don’t do that. When you leave South Charlotte, my own W-2 crew loads the home and Cody’s long-haul team drives it to the door — same shipment, same hands, start to finish.
From a Blakeney townhome to a gated estate off Rea Road, Ballantyne, NC movers writes the whole job as one flat number up front and holds it — no surprise lines once the truck is loaded.
We pull onto I-85 toward Greensboro and Atlanta, I-77 down across the Carolina line to Columbia and Charleston, or I-40 west to Asheville and Nashville. Wherever the destination, you get one carrier the whole way.
Licensed to actually do it
We run on a North Carolina Utilities Commission household-goods certificate plus US DOT and MC interstate authority. That’s not a referral arrangement — it’s our trucks, our drivers and our insurance on the road.
What it costs
Long-distance is priced on weight, mileage and access, written as a binding flat rate before load day. The hourly figures below cover the local labor side; the line-haul is quoted on your survey.
| Crew / leg | Rate | Sample interstate flat rate |
|---|---|---|
| 2 movers + truck (load/unload labor) | $149/hr | 1-bedroom Ballantyne to Columbia, SC: about $1,750 flat |
| 3 movers + truck (load/unload labor) | $199/hr | 3-bedroom South Charlotte to Atlanta: about $4,250 flat |
- Firm pickup and delivery windows, written before you sign
