The long distance industry runs on brokers: companies that sell your move, hand it to a stranger, and disappear. We do the opposite. Your shipment loads onto our dedicated truck, travels with our crew, and arrives in the window we committed to in writing, at the price we signed before loading.
From Seattle to California, Texas, the East Coast, or anywhere between, the same crew that loads your home delivers it.
Interstate Moving Without the Broker Roulette
Most long distance quotes are sold by companies that will never touch your furniture. They book the job, auction it to a carrier you have never heard of, and your belongings ride a consolidated trailer on a schedule nobody controls. The horror stories all start the same way. Royalty Moving & Storage runs interstate moves as a carrier, not a middleman: our equipment, our employees, our accountability from the first box to the last. By the time the truck is loaded, the cheap quote has become a hostage negotiation, and the company holding your furniture is one you never chose.
Every long distance move from Seattle gets a complete written inventory, a flat price signed before loading, and a delivery window we commit to rather than estimate. Operating interstate under USDOT #3617767, and licensed in Washington under UBI #605117720 with household goods permit THG070945. The coordinator who builds your quote stays your contact across every state line, so a question on day four of the drive gets answered by someone who knows the answer.
Six commitments that separate a carrier from a booking desk. Each one is standard practice here, and each one is a question worth asking any company quoting your move.
Dedicated Transport
Your shipment rides its own dedicated truck. No consolidation games, no warehouse transfers, no waiting for a trailer to fill before it leaves Washington.
A Written Inventory
Every item is logged before loading and checked off at delivery. The list is yours, the accountability is ours, and nothing rides undocumented.
Fixed Pricing
The price is signed before the truck is loaded and does not change at the destination. Fuel, tolls, and miles are our problem, not your surprise.
Committed Windows
You get a delivery window we commit to in writing, planned around the actual route, not an open-ended estimate that stretches for weeks.
The Same Crew
The people who pack and load your Seattle home are the people who unload it. They know what is in every box because they wrapped it.
Direct Communication
One coordinator and a driver you can reach on the road. No dispatch maze, no carrier you have never spoken to holding your furniture.
Four stages from the first call to the last room, all under one roof. Most interstate moves go from first call to loaded truck inside two weeks when the calendar asks for it.
01
Inventory and Quote
A walkthrough or video survey produces a complete item list and one flat written price.
02
Plan the Route
Loading date, route, and delivery window get locked, with building logistics handled at both ends.
03
Load and Roll
The crew wraps, loads, and secures everything against the inventory, then the truck leaves on schedule.
04
Deliver and Place
The same crew unloads at the destination, checks every item off the list, and places it where you want it.
We run long distance moves from Seattle to cities across the West Coast and the country, every shipment on our own dedicated truck. Find your destination below for details on that route, or request a quote for any city we do not list.
The cheapest interstate quote is usually a broker's bait. Here is the difference in practice. Ask one question of any quote: who actually owns the truck? The answer predicts the whole experience.

Leave Seattle With a Carrier, Not a Booking Desk
One inventory, one flat written price, one crew across every mile. Operating interstate under USDOT #3617767.
1. How much does a long distance move from Seattle cost?
Interstate pricing depends on inventory volume, distance, and access at both ends. A one-bedroom to California prices very differently from a five-bedroom to the East Coast. What stays constant is the format: one flat written price after a full inventory, signed before loading, with no recalculation at delivery. Compare quotes on this basis and the brokered lowballs identify themselves quickly.
2. Do you broker moves out to other carriers?
Never. Royalty Moving & Storage operates as the carrier under its own federal authority. The truck, the crew, and the accountability are ours from your Seattle doorway to the destination.
3. How long will delivery take?
It depends on the route, but you will know before you book: every move gets a committed delivery window in writing, planned around actual driving days rather than an open-ended spread. Coastal runs to California commonly deliver inside a week; cross-country routes are quoted to the day once the inventory is final.
4. Which states do you move to from Seattle?
All of the lower 48. California, Arizona, Texas, Colorado, Illinois, New York, Florida, and everywhere between are regular routes out of Puget Sound. If the destination is somewhere unusual, ask anyway: dedicated transport means the route is ours to draw.
5. Can you store our belongings before the long haul?
Yes. If the destination is not ready, the shipment holds in our secure Seattle storage and departs when you schedule it, one company handling the entire chain.
6. What happens if something is damaged in transit?
You file with us, not with a stranger. Full cargo and liability coverage rides on every move, the inventory documents every item, and one company answers for the claim. Call (206) 278-2134 with any coverage questions before you book.
7. Are you licensed for interstate moving?
Yes. We operate interstate under USDOT #3617767 and hold Washington UBI #605117720 with household goods permit THG070945, with full cargo and liability coverage on every shipment.
