1.  Hire long distance movers with a location in Boston.  Boston is known for low bridges, road trucks cannot drive on and many trucking obstacles.  There is even a term for this phenomenon - here is a quick pic of a moving truck getting "Storrowed" termed for the Mass Ave bridge on Storrow Drive.

2. Hire long distance movers in Boston that have guaranteed dates.  Typically, van lines and smaller moving companies that don't have enough interstate volume to get your shipment to its destination on time should be avoided.  Van lines usually reload/offload your items into large double tractor trailers to save money.  Maybe I am a yuppie snob but I hate the thought of my things being mixed with others.  What if they get lost or someone ends up with my furniture.

3.  Make sure your long distance movers in Boston give you a flat rate price.  There is nothing more annoying than a moving company with all of your possessions in their control.  Hire a long distance mover with superb long distance moving reviews.  Don't forget to check the filtered reviews - you can find a lot of hidden info that can be helpful.

4.  Your long distance movers in Boston should carry additional full replacement value coverage.  If you have a lot of high end items, I suggest opting for the additional coverage which will be an added fee.  You can also consider purchasing this through your homeowners insurance if this is an option they offer.
