Mentors Moving & Storage is authorized by FMCSA to carry household goods between states, so your estimate, bill of lading and delivery window follow federal rules from the first call. The movers who wrap your furniture in Santa Rosa are our own employees, not day labor hired along the way.
Many people moving to the District sign a lease before they see it. If your keys come later than your loading day, our 13,500-square-foot storage facility can hold the whole load until the apartment is ready.
Pick your home size for the usual range on this trip. Each range counts the movers, the truck, the drive across the country and the fuel surcharge.
A small load with an elevator and a legal parking space at the curb sits low. A full house, stairs, a long carry from the truck or a busy summer week moves it higher.
Packing, cartons, storage between homes and added valuation are listed as separate lines.
Your estimate and bill of lading are written to the federal rules for moves between states.
The people handling your furniture work for Mentors Moving & Storage from start to finish.
If the DC lease starts late, your things wait in our storage until move-in day.
We ask about steps, narrow halls and alleys so the right number of movers comes.
We tell you which street permit to request and when the signs have to go up.
You see the cost for your home size before you book, with extras on their own lines.
The eastern end of the trip crosses Pennsylvania, where PennDOT and the PA Turnpike limit trucks in winter storms by tier. In a February 2026 storm, several interstates moved to the top level of that plan, which permits no commercial vehicles, and speed limits on restricted roads can drop to 45 mph.
A storm ban changes the arrival day, not your price range.
Interstate moves follow federal rules, summed up on the FMCSA Protect Your Move page. Four things matter on this move:
If your goods sit in storage in transit, 49 CFR 375.609 says the mover must tell you in writing at least 10 days before that period ends, including when your liability changes.
DDOT requires a public space permit to park a moving truck on the street, and an alley needs one too, per its moving truck guide. Post the no parking signs 72 hours ahead on unmetered blocks or 24 hours ahead at meters.
You have 60 calendar days after you start living in DC to register your vehicle, and you must convert your license first, per the DC DMV.
Your car must also pass a DC inspection before it can be registered there.
DDOT says moving trucks may only use legal parking spaces and cannot break posted rush-hour or street sweeping rules, per the same DDOT guide. A permit covers no more than 2 days, but it can be issued weeks before its start date.
That means you can claim the curb in front of your new building as soon as the delivery window is set. Tell us the street, any meters and the posted sweeping day, and we match the unload to those hours.
We had a great experience with Mentors Moving & Storage. The crew was professional, hardworking, and efficient from start to finish. They handled our belongings with care, communicated well throughout the move, and worked as a team to make a stressful process much easier.
i had never used movers before and mentors made the process as easy as i hoped and everyone involved at every step of the way was friendly and supportive. the storage service was a life saver during the process. the final move by will and anthony s was smooth and painless and they were absolutely amazing! highly recommended 12/23 i needed some heavy furniture moved and even for a relatively small job mentors was amazing and a pleasure to work with Responsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value 🙏1
What an easy moving experience! Hector and Miguel, the guys were swift and careful as well as courteous and professional. I will call Mentors when I need to move again! Responsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value 🙏1

Your quote, loading day and storage plan come from our office on Dutton Avenue. The same office tracks the truck as it heads east and calls you when the delivery day firms up, so you deal with one company all the way to the District.

Call our Santa Rosa office for a written range and a loading date.
Most District moves arrive about a week after loading. Nearly two days of that is time behind the wheel, and the arrival window is agreed with you on paper first.
You request it through DDOT, and we tell you the truck length and date to use. Signs go up ahead of time so cars are gone when the truck arrives.
Only with a permit. DDOT requires one for alley parking as well, and a truck may not drive across or block a sidewalk.
The truck stops somewhere safe until the restriction lifts, and we call you with a new arrival time. Your load stays strapped and covered.
Yes. We hold the full load after it leaves Sonoma County and release it toward the District once your keys are ready. Storage time is billed apart from the move.
