Interstate movers price shipments largely on volume and weight. Arriving with a documented inventory helps you negotiate fairly and avoid surprise charges on loading day.
A few extra minutes of inventory work can save hundreds — or thousands — when you compare licensed interstate movers.
Bedroom, living room, kitchen, and garage lists are the most accurate way to build a complete interstate moving inventory.
Packed boxes add significant cubic footage. Count medium and large boxes separately for a realistic total.
Pianos, safes, gym equipment, and antiques are easy to miss. Use the custom item field for anything not in the catalog.
Remove items you plan to sell or donate first so movers price the shipment you are actually taking.
Add each furniture item and box to your inventory using room-by-room or quick-add mode. Move Trust Hub sums industry-standard item volumes to calculate your total cubic feet automatically.
Weight is estimated at 7 pounds per cubic foot, a common industry average for household goods. Actual weight varies by item density and packing style, but the estimate is useful for comparing mover quotes.
The calculator recommends a move size bracket based on your total cubic feet, including suggested truck or container size, crew size, and estimated loading time for studio through large home moves.
Room-by-room mode is recommended for the most accurate inventory because items are organized by space. Quick add is faster when you already know what you are moving and want a rapid estimate.
