For employers and HR
Corporate relocation, run on one account
An employee relocation is an ordinary household move with a second decision maker. The house gets a survey, a crew and a binding quote. Your office gets the rest: one coordinator on the account, approval before anything is booked, and an invoice that matches the number that was approved.
- One account every employee move under it
- Binding per move approved before it is booked
- 30 days storage when the start date wins

How a corporate move runs
Corporate relocation here means two things, and the account handles both: employee household moves the company pays for, and the office itself when it changes address. The move is ordinary. What changes is who decides, who signs and who pays, and that is the part this page is about.
One account, many moves
The account gets one coordinator. They survey each employee’s home, send the binding quote to the approver you name, book against notice periods and start dates, and report each delivery back to the office. The employee deals with a person who already knows the company’s rules, and nobody explains the policy twice.
Paper your finance team can file
Each shipment carries its own bill of lading and inventory. The company receives one consolidated invoice that matches the quotes it approved, with the shipment paperwork attached. Valuation is set once, as account policy: federal rules make full value protection the default on every interstate move, released value must be chosen in writing, and anything worth more than a hundred dollars a pound is declared on the shipping documents. Moving insurance and valuation explains both levels in full.
When the start date and the lease disagree
A hire who has to be at a desk before the new home is ready does not need a second vendor. Thirty days of storage are included on a long distance move, and the release date is set by the employee’s calendar rather than a queue.
The office itself
Office moves run on the same account and around your hours, which usually means loading after close or across a weekend. The coordinator walks the space first, decides what needs crating, and the crew that loads is the crew that delivers.

Why companies put moves on an account
What the account changes
None of this is exotic. It is the same move the household would have booked, with the decisions moved to where the money is.
1 contact, survey to invoice
One coordinator, not a queue
Every move on the account goes through the same person. They know the approval chain, the valuation policy and the start dates, so the tenth relocation costs your office less attention than the first.
0 gap between quote and invoice
The invoice matches the approval
Each move is priced on a binding estimate and booked only after your approver signs it. The consolidated invoice restates those numbers with the shipment paperwork attached, so finance reconciles it in one pass.
30 days of storage included
A start date beats a lease
When the desk is ready before the home is, the household loads on schedule and waits in storage we control. Thirty days are included on a long distance move, and the release date belongs to the employee’s calendar.
What it costs
What moves the price on an account
Every move on the account is priced the same way a private one is: weight, mileage, access. What the account changes is who approves it and what paper follows. No dollar figure here, deliberately: a binding number exists after a survey, not before.
| Move on the account | Priced on | Paper the office gets | Timing lever |
|---|---|---|---|
| Employee household the standard case | Weight and mileage | Quote, BOL, inventory | Notice period |
| With full packing materials included | Weight plus scope | Same order, one line | Pack day before load |
| Office move walkthrough first | Inventory and access | COI for the building | After close or weekend |
| Car on the order one coordinator for both | Open or enclosed lane | Same contract | Scheduled against delivery |
Each move is priced on a binding estimate after its own survey, and the consolidated invoice restates the numbers your approver signed. A table of dollar figures would be either uselessly wide or a number that changes later, which is why there is not one.
Price a relocationHow an employee move runs on the account
Four stages. The first one happens once; the other three repeat per move without new decisions.
-
Open the account
One scope call: how many moves a year, where they tend to go, who approves spending and what valuation policy the company wants on file. Everything after this step reuses those answers.
-
Survey and quote, each move
Every employee household gets its own survey and its own binding quote, sent to the approver you named rather than to the kitchen table. Nothing is booked until it is signed off.
-
Pack, load, deliver
The crew runs it like any long distance move: inventory at the door, the employee signs what the paperwork says, and the coordinator reports the delivery window back to the office.
-
One invoice
Consolidated to the account and matching the quotes that were approved, with each shipment’s bill of lading and inventory attached. Finance files one document, not a folder of them.
The other five
All servicesEverything is priced separately, so you can take one of these or all of them.
-
Long distance moving
Interstate household moves priced by weight and mileage, on a binding estimate, with a written delivery spread.
-
Auto transport
Open or enclosed, door to door or terminal to terminal, on the same order as the household goods.
-
Packing and crating
Partial or full, materials included, with custom crates for what will not survive a carton.
-
Storage
Thirty days included on a long distance move, in a facility we control, released on a date you set.
-
Moving insurance
What released value and full value protection actually pay, and the one thing neither covers.
The same crews, on account work
Can you invoice the company instead of the employee?
Yes. The account is billed, not the household. Each move gets its own binding quote sent to the approver you name, and nothing is booked until it is signed off. The employee signs the inventory and the delivery paperwork at the door, and the company receives one consolidated invoice with every shipment’s bill of lading attached.
How do you schedule around a start date?
Backwards from the day the employee has to be at the desk. The survey and the binding quote come first, then the load date is set against the lease and the notice period. When the household is ready before the home is, thirty days of storage are included on a long distance move, and the release date is the employee’s to set.
Who chooses the valuation level on a company-paid move?
The account does, once, as policy. Federal rules make full value protection the default on every interstate move; released value at sixty cents per pound costs nothing but must be chosen in writing, and items worth more than a hundred dollars a pound have to be declared on the shipping documents either way. Setting the policy at account opening means no employee signs it away at the kitchen counter.
Do you move offices as well as employees?
Yes. Office moves are scheduled around your business hours, which usually means loading after close or across a weekend. The coordinator walks the space first, crates what needs crating, and the crew that loads is the crew that delivers. The office and the employee households can run on the same account and the same invoice cycle.
Can an employee add personal items the company is not paying for?
Anything that goes on the truck goes on the inventory, and the inventory is what the binding quote priced. Additions are agreed with the coordinator before load day rather than negotiated at the ramp, and if the company wants a hard line between paid and personal, the account policy can state one and the paperwork will show it.
What does the office receive after each move?
The full trail, not a summary: the binding quote as approved, the bill of lading, the signed inventory from both ends, and the delivery confirmation against the written window. The consolidated invoice restates the approved numbers with that paperwork attached, so finance reconciles each relocation in one pass.
Do overlapping relocations get different coordinators?
No, and that is the point of the account: one coordinator holds the calendar for every move on it, so overlapping load dates are scheduled deliberately instead of colliding. The crews scale per move; the person your office calls does not change.
Is there a minimum number of moves to open an account?
No. The account is paperwork, not a volume commitment: one relocation opens it, the valuation policy and the approver go on file, and the terms simply persist for whenever the next move comes. A company that relocates one person a year gets the same process as one that moves ten.
