We’ve moved families out of Bloomington’s 1960s-era split-levels and 1970s ramblers for over 20 years. We know the sloped driveways that pitch toward the garage in the 55420 ZIP, the half-staircase entries that snag unwieldy sectionals, and the employer-mandated move-out windows that corporate transferees from the I-494 corridor face. Our Long Distance Moving team doesn’t guess at truck placement on your street. We measure, we stage curbside when the grade demands it, and we bring wheel chocks for every winter load.
Why Milestone Moving Co. Is Bloomington’s Preferred Long Distance Moving Company
Bloomington sits at the core of the Twin Cities’ I-494 corporate corridor, flanked by MSP International Airport and dozens of company headquarters. That geography generates an unusually high volume of corporate transferee and airline-employee relocations compared to any neighboring suburb. Movers here must be fluent in tight move-out and move-in windows dictated by employer relocation packages, not just personal preference. We’ve built our Bloomington reputation on that fluency.
Our crews are background-checked, uniformed, and on Milestone’s own payroll. The quote we give you after surveying your home is binding. It does not rise on move day, on the ramp, or at delivery. That’s the Move-Right Guarantee. For 90 days after your belongings arrive, anything we moved or packed that isn’t right is made right with a crew or a check. One call. No subcontractor. No claim form that disappears.
Live customer support answers every call, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Before you book, while your truck is on I-94, and if something needs fixing three weeks after delivery. Dale Whitmore founded Milestone Moving Co.
Our Long Distance Moving Services in Bloomington
Interstate Moving
Interstate moves from Bloomington cross Minnesota state lines into Wisconsin, Iowa, or beyond. We handle the federal motor carrier documentation, coordinate pickup and delivery windows that align with your employer’s relocation package, and assign one crew to your load from origin to destination. No handoffs to unknown labor at a distant terminal.
Cross-Country Moving
Cross-country relocations from Bloomington demand precise logistics. The distance from the Twin Cities to either coast means your shipment travels through multiple climate zones. We pad and blanket furniture to prevent condensation damage when cold Minnesota loads enter heated interiors, and we track your shipment so you know where it sits at every fuel stop. This is our most requested service for corporate transferees leaving the I-494 corridor.
Out-of-State Moving
Out-of-state moves from Bloomington often target Texas, Arizona, or Florida, following the same migration patterns we’ve seen for two decades. We survey your home, calculate cubic footage and weight, and give you one binding number. The price we quote is the price you pay. No surprises when the truck pulls up to your new driveway.
Long Distance Packing
Our Long Distance Packing service runs $300-$1,600 depending on your home’s size and fragility density. In Bloomington’s older split-levels, we frequently encounter narrow stairwells and sunken living rooms that complicate both packing and extraction. We remove doors when necessary, pad doorframes, and protect hardwood floors from salt and slush during winter carry-outs. Full-value protection applies to everything we pack.
White Glove Service
White Glove Service adds $300-$1,600 and covers antiques, artwork, electronics, and heirlooms that standard padding won’t protect. In Bloomington’s 55420 ZIP, we’ve crated oil paintings from homes near Penn American District and wrapped mid-century furniture from original owners who bought new in 1968. We build custom crates, use acid-free paper, and document condition with photographs before the truck seals.
Military & Government Moves
Military and government relocations from Bloomington require compliance with specific weight allowances and documentation standards. We understand PCS timelines and can coordinate with your transportation office to meet required reporting dates.

Trusted Brands We Service in Bloomington
Our crews pack and protect furniture from U-Pack containers when Bloomington families use them for partial loads, and we stock Uline corrugated wardrobe boxes and Milwaukee tool chests for disassembly work on-site.

Our own branded 26-ft trucks carry everything else, fully stocked with moving blankets, floor runners, and the wheel chocks that icy Bloomington driveways demand.
Common Long Distance Moving Problems We See in Bloomington Homes
- Parking the moving truck in a sloped driveway without wheel chocks. The older neighborhoods in 55420 frequently have driveways that pitch toward the garage. In icy conditions, a loaded dolly on that grade is a genuine hazard. We stage on the street and chock every wheel.
- Attempting to pivot large furniture through half-staircase entries without first removing doors. Bloomington’s split-levels and ramblers were built for 1960s-scale furniture. A modern sectional or king mattress won’t turn the landing without door removal. We measure before we carry.
- Underestimating move-out windows for corporate transfers. Employer relocation packages often penalize missed dates. We build buffer into our schedule and confirm pickup windows in writing so your booking guarantee holds.
- Ignoring condensation and salt damage risks during winter moves. Subzero furniture carried into a heated home sweats moisture. Salt tracked from slushy sidewalks etches hardwood. We blanket cold pieces during carry-in and lay floor protection at every threshold.

FAQs - Long Distance Moving in Bloomington
We coordinate driveway and sidewalk clearing before the truck arrives, use moving blankets to prevent condensation damage on cold furniture moved into warm interiors, and protect hardwood floors from salt and slush tracked through during long carry-ins.

Call (855) 890-3455 to discuss your specific timing and get a free estimate.
The 55420 ZIP’s dense cluster of 1960s split-levels features sloped driveways that pitch toward the garage, making a loaded dolly on ice a genuine hazard that flat suburbs like Edina rarely face. We stage curbside and use longer carries rather than risk equipment or crew safety on an uncontrolled grade. This logistical awareness separates experienced Bloomington crews from out-of-town operators who haven’t worked the local housing stock. Call (855) 890-3455 for a survey that accounts for your specific driveway and street width.
Yes. We remove doors, pad doorframes, and use pivot techniques developed specifically for the half-staircase entries and sunken living rooms that define Bloomington’s 1960s and 1970s housing. We recently wrapped a long-distance move for a family on W 86th St, a classic 1970s rambler. The slate-tile entry and sunken living room demanded a pivot technique with our 26-ft truck staged curbside, the driveway’s slope was too risky with ice. Our crew used moving blankets to shield floors from slush and padded the sofa to prevent condensation damage from the cold air. Call (855) 890-3455 to schedule your survey.
We build military-precision scheduling into every corporate transferee move, with named pickup and delivery windows confirmed in writing.
