Bringing new hires to Kern County? With corporate relocation services in Bakersfield, we pack, move and store each employee household, so your people start work settled.
We only contact you about this request. Your number is never shared.
Jesse Lovan and Chris Shipp, who own Mentors Moving & Storage, were both raised in Bakersfield, and the company is still headquartered here. For an employer, that means the people who answer for an employee move live in the same city as the job.
Our corporate relocation services in Bakersfield give your HR office one plan for each transferee: a survey of the home, a written price, packing, the move and setup at the new address. Send us the start date first, and we build the other dates back from it.
Moves for transferring employees in and around Bakersfield are billed by the hour, and each rate in the table pays for both the movers and the truck. HR approves a written price for each home before the first carton is taped.
Three things shift the total: how much furniture the household owns, whether we pack the kitchen and closets, and the stairs, gates or long walks at each address. A transfer from another state is priced as a long distance move with its own written estimate.
A local move carries a 3-hour minimum, and drive time is billed by the hour as well. Pads, shrink wrap, dollies and the take-down and rebuild of beds and tables come with the rate. Fuel surcharge, packing materials, valuation and storage are billed as separate lines.
Most transfers we handle for Kern County employers follow this order, from the first call with HR to the first night in the new home.
You send the employee’s name, both addresses and the start date, and we book a survey of the home.
We tour the house on site or over a video call and list what moves, what stays and what needs extra wrapping.
HR approves the written quote. On long distance transfers, an assigned move coordinator keeps HR and the family on the same dates.
Our movers pack the rooms you chose, mark each box with its new room and load the truck.
Beds go back together and furniture lands in the right rooms. If you booked unpacking, the empty cartons leave with us.
Project hires who start on a fixed Monday and need the household delivered the weekend before. Managers sent to a Bakersfield branch from the Bay Area or Southern California, where the move runs as an in-state job on one truck.
Split moves, where the employee starts work first and the family follows when school lets out, with the household held in storage between trips. And employees leaving Kern County for an office in another state, whom we pack and load here before the truck heads out.
We used Mentors Moving & Storage to relocate an employee across the country, and they were great from start to finish. The entire process was handled professionally, and their customer service was excellent. Braydon was a pleasure to work with. He was always responsive, answered our questions, and provided clear expectations throughout the entire move. The team made what could have been a stressful cross-country relocation much easier to manage. We had a great experience and would highly recommend Mentors Moving & Storage to anyone looking for a professional and reliable moving company!
I contract Mentors Moving for several of of my cases of relocation for the High Speed Rail project throughout the Central Valley. They are professional, on time and fast. They perform amazing under the direction of Project Manager Braydon. Highly recommend for your moving.
I am a senior real estate agent, and I confidently refer my clients to my trusted mentors, who are always polite, excellent with my clients, and fairly priced.

Our movers are employees of Mentors Moving & Storage, sent from the Gilmore Avenue office, so the people inside your transferee’s home answer to us.
The office that quotes the move also schedules it, takes the family’s calls and handles any change. When a closing slips or a lease starts late, one call moves the delivery to the new date.
Some transferred employees choose a home north of Bakersfield instead of one in the city. We plan those household moves from our Gilmore Avenue office, and each link below opens a page about relocating to that town.
A walk-through or video call shows us the rooms, stairs and large pieces, and the written quote is built from it.
Dishes, glassware, clothes and books go into cartons sized for each, so the employee keeps working until move day.
Bed frames, dining tables and desks come apart for the truck and go back together in the new rooms.
Every carton carries the name of its room, so movers set it down in the right place the first time.
When the new house closes after the move-out date, the household waits in storage and comes out on the day you pick.
Movers empty cartons onto counters and shelves, then haul the paper and boxes away.
Our packers box the whole house or only the kitchen, closets and breakables, and the employee goes to work as usual while we do it.
A closing that runs late is covered. The household sits in storage with an item list and comes back out on whatever delivery date the employee picks.
Staff arriving from or heading to another state get a long distance estimate in writing and an inventory checked at both ends of the trip.
A manager moving between Bakersfield and the Bay Area, Sacramento or San Diego moves as an in-state job priced by our Gilmore Avenue office.
Opening or growing a Kern County office for the people you are hiring? We move the desks, files and chairs on the same plan.
An upright or grand piano in the employee’s home is padded, strapped to a board and moved with the rest of the household.
Moving your own household? Our Bakersfield movers handle homes of every size at the same hourly rates, planned by the same office.
The size of the home and the amount of packing set the price. Local moves are billed by the hour from the rate table above, with a 3-hour minimum and billed drive time, and each household gets a written quote.
Yes. We load on the move-out date, keep the household in storage and deliver once the keys are in hand. Storage is billed as its own line.
Yes. We pack and load in the old city and drive the shipment to Bakersfield, with a written long distance estimate approved by HR before the move.
Yes. We give each household its own survey and moving day and send HR a single calendar that covers all of them.
Car titles, passports, work laptops, medicine and school records ride with the employee. We leave a box or a closet empty for those items on packing day.
Yes. For an employee leaving Kern County, we pack and load the household here and drive it to the new city.
Send the start date, the current address and the new one. Call (661) 325-6683 or use the form, and our Bakersfield office sets up the home survey and the written quote.
