In the case of long-distance moving, a physical survey is suggested. We will always provide a written estimate to avoid an confusions or misunderstandings. In this case, our quotation will always be on a per trip basis, the cost depending on the size of vehicle required and your destination.
The "extras" we provide on local moves are also provided in the case of long-distance moving, such as wooden wardrobes, plastic boxes, stretch-wrap, etc. Generally, long-distance moves require more packing in cardboard boxes, so it is not unusual to spend a day or two prior to the actual loading date, to perform all the packing required. The same protection for the home is also used.
Long-distance moves are tagged and inventoried for better control, just as we do on international moves. At destination, all items will be checked off the inventory. Once the vehicle is loaded, it is sealed for added security and these seals are broken in the owner's presence at destination, unless the authorities have inspected the goods somewhere along the way, as sometimes occurs. In addition to our better equipment and personnel, the use of detailed inventories and seals, Atlas Mexicana takes some special steps to ensure maximum security for each long distance move we perform:
- The use of toll roads whenever available.
- Drivers equipped with cellular phones.
- For almost all destinations, we send at least two people with the vehicle.
- We ensure our personnel are not pressured to drive farther than is considered safe and prudent each day.
