Know which long-distance move leads are worth survey time
Ask about distance, home size, and special items like pianos or artwork up front, then collect a video walkthrough before your team ever sends a truck.
The exact intake your long-distance home move leads complete
This is the real 6-question guided intake for Long-Distance Home Move — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.
What a qualified long-distance home move lead should tell you
Transport of household belongings between residences located in different states or regions, where distance, home size, move-out timing, and special items determine crew size, truck allocation, and whether temporary storage is needed.
- Approximate Distance Between Current
- Size Home Being Moved
- Have Confirmed Move-Out Date
- Temporary Storage Between Pickup
- Person Authorized Arrange And
- Special Items, If Any,
The questions your team needs answered
Every long-distance home move intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| What is the approximate distance between your current home and your destination? | The distance answer separates same-state moves from cross-country ones, and cross-country carries the highest weight since those jobs typically require more trucks, crew days, and lead time to schedule. |
| What is the size of the home being moved? | Segments the lead so you can route, price, and prioritize it correctly. |
| Do you have a confirmed move-out date? | A confirmed move-out date scores well above 'no' because it signals the household has committed to a timeline rather than still comparison-shopping. |
| Will you need temporary storage between pickup and delivery? | Needing temporary storage between pickup and delivery adds warehousing and re-delivery logistics that change how the job should be quoted and staffed. |
| Are you the person authorized to arrange and confirm this move? | Confirming the submitter is authorized to arrange the move carries a much higher weight than an unauthorized inquiry, since only a decision-maker can actually confirm a survey and booking. |
| Which special items, if any, need to be moved? | Flagging pianos, artwork, appliances, or vehicles up front lets the crew arrive with the right equipment instead of discovering oversized or fragile items on move day. |

Built for long-distance home move workflows
| Cliont capability | Long-Distance Home Move application |
|---|---|
| Weighted lead scoring | Distance, confirmed move-out date, and authorization to arrange the move carry the heaviest weights, so a cross-country lead with a booked date and a decision-maker outscores an early-stage inquiry. |
| Conditional intake logic | A yes on temporary storage can trigger follow-up detail requests, while special items like a piano or artwork can prompt a request for photos before the survey is scheduled. |
| Required media uploads | Video walkthroughs and photos of special items let your team size the truck and crew for a 4+ bedroom cross-country move without a wasted in-home visit. |
| CRM routing | Leads with confirmed move-out dates and cross-country distance land in your CRM as survey-ready, separate from early-stage or unauthorized inquiries that need a follow-up call first. |
Common long-distance home move lead scenarios
Confirmed cross-country move
The lead has a locked move-out date and a cross-country destination, both high-value signals, so it routes straight to the CRM as a priority survey candidate.
Neighboring-state move with storage gap
The home is moving to an adjacent state but the new place isn't ready, so temporary storage between pickup and delivery gets flagged before the crew is quoted.
Inquiry on behalf of a parent
Someone fills out the form but isn't the person authorized to confirm the move, a signal that weights lower than a self-authorized lead and may need a follow-up call before scheduling.
Large home with high-value items
A 4+ bedroom home moving long-distance with a piano and artwork changes crew, packing material, and truck-size requirements before a survey is even booked.
Early-stage, no move date yet
The prospect is pricing out a long-distance move months in advance with no confirmed move-out date, which weighs lower than a booked date and can be nurtured instead of surveyed immediately.

Long-Distance Home Move lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake distinguish a same-state move from a cross-country one?
The distance question separates same-state moves over 100 miles from neighboring-state and cross-country moves, and cross-country moves carry the highest weight since they typically involve more logistics, higher revenue, and more scheduling lead time.
Does the intake ask about international moves?
Yes, international is one of the distance options, but it carries the lowest weight since long-distance domestic movers often can't service it directly and it's flagged so your team can route or decline it early.
How does Cliont capture information on pianos, artwork, or vehicles?
The special-items question lets the customer flag pianos, artwork or antiques, large appliances, or vehicles, so your crew shows up with the right equipment instead of discovering a piano on move day.
Will the intake tell me if temporary storage is needed?
Yes, there's a direct yes/no question on whether storage is needed between pickup and delivery, so you know before the survey whether to quote warehousing or a direct long-haul.
How is home size used if it isn't weighted the same as distance?
Home size (studio up to 4+ bedrooms) isn't a scoring weight but is captured directly on every lead so your team can estimate truck size and crew count before confirming a survey slot.
Why does the intake ask if the person is authorized to arrange the move?
A confirmed decision-maker carries a much higher weight than someone inquiring on behalf of another person, which helps you avoid scheduling a survey with someone who can't actually sign off on the job.
Is this the same intake used for local or same-day moves?
No, this intake is specific to long-distance moves; local moves, apartment moves, and same-day moves are separate subservices with their own qualification questions.
