Why We Chose Interstate Moving & Relocation Group
Interstate Moving & Relocation Group (IMRG) is a licensed broker that coordinates moving services through a network of national and local movers in all 50 states. When using a moving broker, you will likely receive a lower estimate than you would from a carrier due to the broker’s ability to negotiate better rates among its partners. Remember that these estimates can change when your move date arrives. You should learn as much as possible about the company contracted to perform your moving services before signing a contract.
In addition to a moving cost calculator, IMRG provides in-depth guides on its website about nearly a dozen common move destinations. These guides highlight the partners that serve each city and provide details about the cost of living and the most popular neighborhoods.
Services
IMRG partners with self- and full-service moving companies. For intrastate Wyoming moves, IMRG can pair you with a local moving company; for interstate relocations, IMRG has numerous national partners in its network for cross-country and long-distance moves. IMRG can also coordinate international relocation services.
Other services IMRG can book through its partners include the following:
- Corporate moving
- Furniture disassembly and reassembly
- GPS shipment tracking
- Junk removal
- Short- and long-term storage
- Vehicle shipping
Cost
Your IMRG moving cost will vary depending on the moving company you use, but most full-service movers will base rates on your inventory weight, move distance and selected services. You can also purchase extra insurance coverage through several of its partners. IMRG charges a 15% booking deposit and a binding estimate fee that you will find in your quote documentation.

Why We Chose Moving APT
Moving APT is a full-service moving broker that connects its customers to vetted third-party partners that perform all moving services. An advantage of using a moving broker is cheaper overall rates, but the quality of service you receive will depend on the company Moving APT assigns to your move. However, unlike many brokers, Moving APT enables you to communicate directly with its partners, allowing you to research each company and compare quotes.
Moving APT also offers convenient payment options to promote a smoother moving process. This includes major credit cards, cash and certified checks. You can also speak to your Moving APT move coordinator about financing options.
Services
Moving APT partners with more than 500 local agents to conduct full-service moves that include packing and unpacking assistance. It also partners with self-service movers for customers who prefer a more do-it-yourself (DIY) approach to moving, typically involving portable storage containers that customers load and the company ships. Moving APT can coordinate domestic moves in all 50 states and also works with international partners.
Cost
To reserve a moving date through Moving APT, you will need to pay an up-front deposit that will vary depending on the exact details of your move. Moving APT has an online moving cost calculator, but, for a more accurate estimate, you will need to request a quote and share information about your move with a company representative. Moving costs will typically combine rates for the size and weight of the shipment, the distance covered during your move and the additional services you schedule.

North American Van Lines (NAVL) is a full-service moving company with more than 1,000 moving trucks serving Wyoming and all of the United States. It has hybrid authority with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) as a carrier and broker, so it will outsource a portion of its services when its crews lack the capacity. NAVL has more than 500 agents in locations across North America to help coordinate prompt and efficient moves.
A highlight of NAVL’s business model is its attention to streamlining the claims process. Forms are readily accessible on the NAVL website to file a claim for lost or damaged household goods. The company also has two separate customer service lines to provide assistance for domestic and international claims.
Services
NAVL provides full-service moves, assisting with every step of relocating your belongings. The company’s moving crews can pack, load, unload and unpack to save you the hassle.

Other NAVL services include the following:
- Appliance installation
- Cleaning services
- Debris removal
- Furniture disassembly and reassembly
- International moving

A virtual survey or in-home inventory evaluation will be necessary for an accurate moving estimate.
