Same-day delivery, single crew
At this distance your belongings stay on one truck with one crew and deliver the same day. There is no warehouse transfer and no multi-day delivery window to plan around, which is the practical difference between this and a true long distance move.
Mileage is priced by tiers, not per gallon stories
The fuel, mileage, and travel line uses a flat per-mile tier based on billing miles for the trip. For this route that line is a few hundred dollars and it is shown separately, not blended into your item pricing.
Access fees apply on both ends
Stairs, elevators, and building rules are priced for the pickup and the delivery. A Philadelphia rowhouse with two flights prices those flights the same way a Jersey City walk-up does.
