Cross-state moving
Cross a state line and one thing decides how the move goes: the same Pettinger crew that eases your couch down the daylight-basement stairs pads it, drives the whole way, and sets it inside the new place hundreds of miles on.
Our own authority, no broker
No broker sits between you and us, and no outside van line ever touches the load. We run every job under authority we hold ourselves: WUTC HG-64217, USDOT authority, and MC authority. The haul is priced off honest weight and honest miles, set as one number, and fixed the moment the ramp meets the destination door.
Lanes we drive out of Spokane
Work and family steer most long-haul moves onto a handful of routes, and the method holds the same on every one: one crew, one number, the whole way.
| Destination | Distance | Route | Drive time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seattle, WA | 280 mi | I-90 west | ~4.25 hrs |
| Coeur d’Alene, ID | 35 mi | I-90 east | ~0.5 hr |
| Portland, OR | 350 mi | US-395 / I-84 | ~5.5 hrs |
| Boise, ID | 415 mi | US-95 south | ~6.5 hrs |
| Missoula, MT | 200 mi | I-90 east | ~3 hrs |
| Kennewick, WA | 140 mi | US-395 south | ~2.25 hrs |
What the one number covers
Sign it and you have covered the load-out, the drive across the passes, and the carry-in, along with the padding, wrapping, disassembly, reassembly, and every mile between.
Pricing off weight and miles and putting it on paper is what keeps the delivery invoice from creeping. Every shipment carries its federal protection.

Storage in the gap
Long-haul dates rarely line up cleanly. If your Spokane closing and the keys at the far end fall a few days apart, Megan holds the load in a clean, dry, climate-controlled bay and delivers on the day you choose, all still under the same single quote.
Same crew, both ends
Plenty of families got sold a cheap cross-country rate over the phone, then met an inflated invoice from an outfit that farmed the job out to whoever bid lowest. We run it the other way around: the Spokane crew that walks your things down the basement stairs is the crew that sets them up in Seattle or Boise. Our own trucks, our own people, a single written rate from one end to the other.
