Long-Distance Moving
Long Distance Movers
Published by John Craft, Founder
A long-distance move is the one where the most can go wrong, so it is the one we take most seriously. A clear quote up front, careful handling at both ends, and a single team that treats your belongings the same way from loading day to the day they come off the truck.
Long-Distance Moving Out of Indianapolis and Central Indiana
Indianapolis sits at the crossroads of more interstates than almost any other city in the country, which is part of why a long-distance move from here can go in any direction with one careful crew. I-65 carries loads north toward Chicago and south toward Louisville and Nashville. I-70 runs east toward Columbus and west toward St. Louis. I-69 opens up the route down to Texas. We start every job from that road network, mapping the drive and a realistic delivery window before the truck is ever loaded, so you are planning around a date rather than guessing.
What makes a cross-country move stressful is rarely the distance itself, it is the handoffs. Many national brokers sell your move to whichever carrier is cheapest that week, so the people who load your home in Indianapolis are not the ones who unload it in another state. We keep your move with our own team and a full written inventory taken before departure, so a single crew is accountable from your driveway here to your door there.
Long-distance pricing works differently from a local move, and that difference protects you. Instead of an hourly clock, we quote on the size of your load and the distance, so the number you approve up front is the number you pay. There is no mid-move price jump and no holding a load hostage for more money. You see the full picture before anything goes on the truck.
Timing across state lines almost never lines up perfectly. Closings slip and leases overlap, so we build in flexibility with secure storage that holds your belongings until your new home is ready. Plenty of long-distance customers also hand off the boxes entirely to our packing team, and if you are leaving from one of the suburbs we serve every day like Greenwood or Fishers, your move starts right at your door.

Why Soft Touch
What sets us apart
One crew, no handoffs
Some long-distance companies hand your move to whichever carrier is cheapest that week. We keep your move with our team so the people who load you are accountable for how you arrive.
A clear quote, not a guess
We quote on your actual load and distance so the number you approve is the number you pay. No mid-move price jumps, no hostage loading.
Storage if your dates slip
Closings move, leases overlap, plans change. We can hold your belongings safely and deliver when your new home is ready, so a date change is not a crisis.
Indianapolis roots, nationwide reach
We are a local Indiana company that handles the long hauls personally. You get a national-grade move with a local crew that answers the phone.
