Alberga Moving Services runs a dedicated long-distance route between Frederick and Philadelphia, covering roughly 130 miles along I-95 and US-1. This is a full day’s job, not a quick in-and-out — which is exactly why we send an experienced crew and keep the same truck loaded from pickup all the way through delivery, with no changeover along the way.
Long-distance crew chief Derrick Boyle leads our Philadelphia runs. After eight years driving CDL for a regional produce hauler, he’s spent years learning how to plan a route, secure a load for hours on the highway, and keep a household’s belongings from shifting over 130 miles. The truck that leaves Frederick is the truck that arrives in Philadelphia — nothing changes trucks or crews partway through.
Every Philadelphia move includes free furniture wrapping, a flat-rate quote with no deposit, background-checked movers, and text or call updates while the truck is on I-95. If you need help packing before moving day, our full-pack service can take that off your plate, and our piano moving team handles specialty items separately.

Ballpark Pricing By Home Size
These bands are here to set expectations, not to quote you. Your real number comes from a quick inventory with Jamal plus the loading conditions at both ends — a fourth-floor walk-up and a place with a driveway don't price the same, even at identical square footage.
| Home Size | Typical Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Studio / 1BR | $1,400–$2,100 | Covers a compact crew, one truck, and the full-day round trip along I-95 to Philadelphia. |
| 2-3BR house | $2,700–$4,000 | Reflects a full crew, a loaded truck, and the extra highway time this 130-mile route requires. |
| 4+BR house | $4,500–$6,500 | Accounts for a larger crew, a possible second truck, and a full day of loading, driving, and unloading. |
Our Services
Nine services, one crew. A studio near Carroll Creek and a five-bedroom bound for Baltimore draw from the same roster of movers and the same trucks in our lot — and once you book, the work stays with us from the first box to the last.
Our Range Of Services IncludesLocal Frederick Moves
Row houses off Record Street, split-levels near Ballenger Creek, farmhouses out past Ijamsville — our crew moves whatever Frederick County puts in front of us, usually done before dinner.
Learn More →Long-Distance Moves from Frederick
When a Fort Detrick contractor gets reassigned to Pittsburgh or a family relocates for a job in DC, the load doesn't get handed off to a subcontractor halfway there — the crew that packs it is the crew that carries it in.
Learn More →Frederick County Home Moves
Whether it's a rowhouse near Carroll Creek or a five-bedroom out past Urbana, Frederick County families get the same deal — full crew, full truck, one number agreed on before moving day.
Learn More →Downtown Frederick Apartment & Condo Moves
Historic downtown Frederick means narrow stairwells and nowhere to park a big truck; the newer buildings off Route 26 mean freight elevators and a certificate of insurance for the property office. We plan and staff each kind separately instead of treating an apartment like a scaled-down house move.
Learn More →Full-Service Packing for Frederick County Homes
Book the packing crew for the day before and you wake up to a house already boxed — dishes in real dish-packs, closets and the garage sorted, every carton marked by room. We supply the boxes and paper, so there's no last-minute run to the hardware store.
Learn More →Short-Term Storage Around Closing Delays
When a settlement date slides and you're caught between homes, we keep your belongings in a climate-controlled bay on our end and redeliver once you close — nobody should be prying open a frozen driveway pod in the middle of a Frederick winter.
Learn More →Piano Moving Across Frederick County
Uprights, spinets, and the occasional baby grand come out of Frederick's tight Victorian foyers on proper piano boards and skids, legs and pedals padded, so neither the instrument nor your hardwood picks up a scuff on the way to the truck.
Learn More →Loading & Unloading Help in Frederick
Driving the rental yourself but not looking forward to the heavy lifting? Hire a pair of our movers by the hour to load or unload it — you keep the keys and the route, we take the couch, the fridge, and whatever else has to come down the stairs.
Learn More →Senior & Downsizing Moves in Frederick County
Downsizing after decades in one Frederick County house is really a sorting job with some heavy lifting attached. There's no clock on it — we go room by room at your speed, tag every carton so nothing vanishes in the move, and drop the give-away pile at donation on our way out.
Learn More →Four Steps, Start To Finish
Ask a dozen Frederick customers how their move went and you'll get the same four-step answer — here's what each one actually looks like.
Jamal Walks The Job First
A quick video tour or an in-home look tells him what a phone guess can't — the third-floor walk-up downtown, the barn full of storage out past Jefferson, the piano nobody mentioned — and the number comes off that.
Patricia Locks Down The Details
Valuation coverage and any certificate of insurance a downtown building manager asks for are handled before the truck rolls, along with the written price — so nothing gets sorted out in the driveway on moving day.
Cody Or Derrick Runs The Crew
Local job or long haul, the crew chief on site wraps every piece before it leaves a room and maps out the narrow Catoctin-foothill driveways and rowhouse stairwells instead of forcing them.
We Put The House Back Together
Beds get reassembled, each carton goes to the room it's marked for, and the spent wrap and flattened boxes leave with the crew rather than piling up in your garage.
Why Frederick Keeps Booking Us
Your Move Has A Foreman, Not A Rotation
Book a local job and Cody's crew shows up — the chief who can tell at the curb which downtown block wants a hand truck instead of a dolly. Headed out of state? That falls to Derrick, who drove CDL for a produce hauler for years before he took over our long runs. Either way you get a name and a face, not whoever the schedule spat out that morning.
Ice On Route 15 Doesn't Cancel Your Move
When a storm glazes the Golden Mile or a nor'easter buries the Catoctin ridge, we don't bump you — the weather is already built into the schedule before it arrives. The trucks carry salt and traction ramps for slick historic-downtown steps, and if your closing slides because of the storm, we hold your date instead of sending you to the back of the line.
One Truck, All The Way There
A long-distance move with us never changes hands at a warehouse halfway down the road. The crew that loads your place in Frederick is the crew that walks the last box into the new one, whether that's a two-hour run to Baltimore or a full day to Pittsburgh — Derrick drives the lane end to end, so your things never ride with a stranger.

Give Renata the basics — what's moving, where it's headed, and roughly when — and she'll usually have a flat quote back to you the same day. Even in a week when an ice storm has the whole schedule in flux, you're talking to the person who actually runs the calendar.
What Our Clients Say
“I hate packing more than almost anything, so I hired it out this time. The Alberga crew showed up at eight, and by early afternoon every closet, cabinet, and shelf in our Middletown place was boxed and labeled — I didn't have to touch a roll of tape.”
“Our buyers' financing collapsed a week out and suddenly we had a full house and nowhere to put it. Instead of leaving everything in a pod on the driveway through a Maryland February, Alberga stashed it all in a heated bay and brought it back the day after we finally closed. Huge relief.”
“We have a baby grand that came from my in-laws, so I called around before trusting anyone with it. Alberga sent someone to look at the staircase first rather than quote it blind. On the day, the crew had it padded, strapped to the board, and down the front steps in under an hour, and there's not one new mark on the case.”
Common Questions, Answered Here
If you're comparing Frederick, MD movers, these are the details that usually settle it one way or the other.
Is Frederick to Philadelphia a one-day move?
Most Frederick-to-Philadelphia moves complete in a single day, including loading, the highway drive, and unloading, though larger 4+ bedroom homes sometimes need an early start or a second day for unpacking.
Who drives the truck on this route?
Our long-distance crew chief Derrick Boyle leads most Philadelphia runs, bringing years of CDL highway driving experience. The same crew that loads your home in Frederick unloads it at your new Philadelphia address.
Do you offer packing help before the move?
Yes, our full-pack service covers dishes, closets, and fragile items before moving day, which is popular for this route since it saves a step ahead of the longer 130-mile drive to Philadelphia and gets you unpacking sooner.
What if my Philadelphia building has a narrow street or alley?
Tell us about street width, alley access, or permit parking when you request your quote, and we'll plan truck positioning and crew timing around Philadelphia's rowhouse blocks so the unload stays on schedule.
