Swapping Kern County heat for Arizona heat? Our Bakersfield to Phoenix movers pack your home and make the desert run on a truck that carries only your belongings. Call us.
We only contact you about this request. Your number is never shared.
Your household rides on a dedicated truck from your Bakersfield curb to your Phoenix door, with a delivery window agreed in writing before loading. Nothing is unloaded at a depot or moved to another truck on the way across the desert.
The movers who load your home are employees of Mentors Moving & Storage. We move households to all 50 states, and this run east crosses the Colorado River into Arizona about halfway.
These ranges show what this move usually costs by home size. Each one covers the movers, the truck, the full desert drive and the fuel surcharge.
A smaller load with easy access sits near the bottom. Stairs, a long walk from the truck, an HOA with tight moving hours or a June date pushes the price up within its range.
Packing labor, boxes, a storage stop and higher protection levels get their own lines on the quote.
We walk your home in person or by video, list large pieces and ask about stairs, gates and parking in Phoenix.
Pack yourself or let our packers take the kitchen, art, electronics and closets.
Heavy pieces load low, every tier is strapped and blankets stay on every surface.
Your home crosses the Mojave and western Arizona with no transfer along the way.
We place each piece where you want it and rebuild beds and tables before we go.
Book any of these with your move.
Most of this drive is open desert interstate. Summer and monsoon season bring the conditions we plan around.
Interstate moves follow federal rules. Read the FMCSA Ready to Move brochure and the Protect Your Move page before loading day.
If your estimate is non-binding, paying 110 percent of it at delivery gets your goods released, with any balance billed after, under 49 CFR 375.407.
In Phoenix, trash and recycling containers go to the curb by 5:30 a.m. on collection day with 15 feet of clearance from cars, mailboxes and poles. Book a bulk trash appointment for packing debris and set it out no more than a week early.
I would highly recommend Mentors Moving. The crew showed up on time, and ready to work. We moved from California to Missouri. Our things arrived on time as well. We have additional things that need to be moved next month and we will be using Mentors again! Thank you for taking the stress and hassle off of our family!
We were very pleased with our experience with Mentors Moving, beginning with the arrangements made with Chris, who quoted and guaranteed what we thought was a fair price. He chose the right-sized truck for the job, which looked to be well-maintained and in newer condition. Chris was always available and responsive to our issues and questions. The commercial driver, Andres, was very professional and took control of the entire move.
Everything went really well. The movers were professional and did an excellent job. They took care of all my furniture. I highly recommend them if you are moving and don’t want the stress that comes with it. It was really worth it. Thanks guys!

The drive alone fills a long day for a loaded truck. Your loading day and delivery window go in writing before we load, so you can plan your own trip around them.
No. A dedicated truck carries your household from Bakersfield to Phoenix with no transfers.
Summer works with early starts. Carry candles, medicine, plants and electronics in your car, since a closed truck gets hot in the desert.
Our driver pulls off and waits it out, the way the National Weather Service advises. We call you with a new arrival time.
Yes. If closing day in Phoenix slips, your household waits in storage between pickup and delivery. That stop is a separate item on your quote, and we schedule the Arizona delivery once you know your date.
