Interstate Worldwide Relocation Services

800-745-MOVE

Arthur E. Morrissette founded the company in 1943 with little more than a used truck, $450 and a vision of providing quality moving services with "Top Hat Service." With his meager resources and burning commitment to quality service, Mr. Morrissette forayed his ideas about moving into a successful business — the $80 million family of companies that today exists as Interstate. He recognized that the job of relocating families involved much more than just moving furniture and knew that an individual's household possessions represented their lives - both past and present, and should be treated with utmost care and respect.

More than six decades later, Interstate continues to grow under the leadership of the three generations of the Morrissette family. The hallmarks of the organization remain the same today as they did in 1943: "Top Hat Service," innovation and training. These cornerstones of the Interstate organization have proven to be fundamental to Interstate's success with individual, government and corporate clients.

Interstate's trademark "Top Hat Service" can only be accomplished through the efforts of a well rewarded, highly trained and experienced team. We regard the personnel who make up our team as our primary and most valuable assets. We are proud to say that the average length of service for our full time managers and supervisors is 12 years, and for our full-time operations staff is five years.

Ed Mattern: Hi! I am Ed Mattern with Interstate Worldwide Relocation. And we are here today to talk to you about how to plan for your move.

Some of the things that we are going to talk about are: first, how to select your moving method. I am going to give you a brief overview, if you were to move yourself, or if you are going to select a professional company.

We will also talk to you about, if you are moving yourself, the details and the specifics that you need to be able to do so efficiently. As well as, how to select a professional moving company? Next we are going to talk to you about some timeline elements, such as two to four weeks before your move, one week to the day prior to your move, and the day of your move. And finally, we are going to talk to you about delivery of destination and helping you settle into your new home. Some safety considerations are, you want to make sure that your truck ramp is available and usable. You want to make sure that you lift things appropriately, keeping your back straight at all times.
