## Route logistics to confirm
Primary corridor: US-1, I-395, and Potomac Yard or Old Town access.

- • Condo and apartment moves should include elevator reservation timing in the quote.
- • Short-distance Arlington to Alexandria moves are often labor-driven rather than mileage-driven.
## How the route estimate works
Moving Company HQ blends origin and destination cost ranges, then adjusts for route distance, drive time, and whether the move is local, regional, or intrastate long-distance.
The 2 bedroom benchmark assumes about 800 cubic feet, 5,600 pounds, 3 movers, and roughly 7 labor hours.
Treat the estimate as a planning range, not a binding quote. Packing, bulky items, storage, valuation coverage, stairs, elevators, and building rules can change the final price.
