Cross-country moves on a truck that carries only your home
Dedicated trucks for moves of 500 to 2,500 miles, with a binding estimate and live shipment tracking.
How it works at Nomad
Most interstate carriers consolidate several households onto one trailer, which is why delivery windows stretch to three weeks. Nomad runs dedicated long-haul trucks out of our Bishop Lane yard, so the crew that loads your home in Louisville is the same team that unloads it in Denver, Phoenix or Tampa.
Every long-distance move starts with a video or in-home survey, then a binding not-to-exceed estimate that lists weight, crew size, materials and the delivery window in writing. Once the truck leaves, you get GPS check-ins at every fuel stop and a text when the driver is two hours out.
