Trading Kern County for a new state? We are long distance movers in Bakersfield who pack your home, drive it on a dedicated truck and deliver it to your door. Get a quote.
We only contact you about this request. Your number is never shared.
Cross-country loads face hours of highway, mountain grades and temperature swings. We pad every piece, set heavy furniture low and forward, and build tight tiers of boxes so nothing shifts between Bakersfield and your new front door.
Every mover on your job is background-checked before their first day with us, and your move is the only load on its truck.
Most long distance moves from Bakersfield leave the valley one of two ways: east through the Tehachapi Mountains toward Nevada, Arizona and Texas, or north toward Sacramento, Oregon and Washington. Our long distance movers plan that route and confirm pickup and delivery timing with you before loading day.
Caltrans lists State Route 58 near Tehachapi among the highways where chains are sometimes required, and vehicles over 6,500 pounds must mount chains when signs call for them. From late fall into spring we check conditions before trucks head east.
For trips south, a 2019 Caltrans flyer notes that snow and ice close I-5 over the Grapevine an average of 3 to 5 times between October and April, so winter moves to Los Angeles and San Diego get a backup route. Our intrastate movers handle every California route listed below.
Your belongings ride alone on their truck, so they are not moved to another trailer along the way.
We agree on the delivery days before loading, so you can plan the drive and your first nights in the new home.
Interstate moves run under our USDOT and MC numbers, which anyone can look up on FMCSA SAFER.
Dish packs, wardrobe boxes and mirror cartons keep fragile items safe over hundreds of miles.
If closing dates do not line up, we store your things and deliver when you are ready.
One move plan covers packing in Bakersfield and setup at your new home.
Before a mover signs your bill of lading on an interstate move, 49 CFR 375.213 requires it to give you four things: an accurate estimate, notice that its tariff is available to read, a summary of its arbitration program and a summary of how it handles complaints.
The same rule calls for the FMCSA booklet Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move and the Ready to Move brochure, or links to them. You receive each of these from us before you sign. FMCSA also notes that it cannot resolve claims for you, so read the claims terms with care.
The table compares moves that start in Bakersfield, from across town to out of state. A walkthrough turns your inventory into a written price before you book.
Your price covers furniture pads, shrink wrap, tape, dollies, tools, straps and furniture disassembly and reassembly. Fuel surcharge, packing materials, storage and valuation above the free basic coverage are listed separately.
We have heard so many horror stories about moving companies moving people out of state that we were so leery to entrust anybody to do this task for us. … Keith Hough was our point of contact and he came out and gave us an estimate. He explained the process, gave us a quote, explained how it was binding and would not change based on weight … the night before the date, the driver, Andreas, called and said he was on time for 8am delivery.
They did a fabulous job moving us from California to Tennessee. On time with plenty of help.
My wife and I are super pleased with the performance of Mentors Moving Company. We have used them two times and we are very impressed with their performance and ability to deliver on time and under budget. … Highly recommend Mentors Moving from Bakersfield, CA
