Hire long distance movers from Bakersfield to Birmingham who wrap and box your home, load it on one truck and bring it east to Alabama, room by room. Request your free written quote now.
We only contact you about this request. Your number is never shared.
We move households from Kern County to all 50 states, and Birmingham is one of the longer runs east. An assigned move coordinator handles your trip from the first call. That person books the pickup, writes down the arrival window and checks in as the truck crosses the country on CA-58 and I-40, then drops south through Memphis on I-22 into Birmingham.
Each row below shows what a home of that size usually pays for this route. Labor, the truck, several days of interstate driving and the fuel surcharge are built into the figures.
Where you fall depends on how much you bring, how far the truck parks from each door, any stairs, and whether you pick a busy June week or a quieter one in early fall.
Packing, cartons, storage and added valuation are separate lines you can choose.
Your coordinator answers questions from booking until the last box comes off in Alabama.
Mattresses go into bags and soft pieces are wrapped so they arrive dry.
Your home stays on the same truck from Kern County to Birmingham.
Beds, tables and shelving come apart for the drive and are rebuilt in your rooms.
Runners and frame pads go down at both homes before the first piece moves.
Boxes land in the room on the label and furniture goes where you point.
We list and pad every room, load your Kern County home and drive it more than two thousand miles east, with your coordinator calling at each stage of the trip.
Our packers can box the whole house or just the china, books and art, and every carton is marked for its Birmingham room so unloading moves quickly.
If the Alabama closing slides, the household waits in storage after pickup and goes east on the new date you confirm.
An upright or grand piano is padded, strapped to a board and carried by extra movers at both homes, then set where you want it so it can settle before tuning.
Heirlooms and antique furniture get custom wrap and are set by hand in each room. We make beds, hang mirrors and haul away the packing material before leaving.
Companies sending a hire to Birmingham get one plan and one invoice per household, with dates lined up to the start day.
Our Bakersfield office can add labor-only movers, office movers or international movers to the same plan.
The last third of the drive crosses the Mississippi at Memphis and enters a state known for spring tornado outbreaks.
Take care of these in the weeks before loading day.
Spring is storm season in Alabama, so leave a spare day if you move between March and May.
Humid air in the South can reach soft items, so seal mattresses and cushions before loading.
Alabama counts its registration window from the day your car enters the state.
Check doorways and stair turns for your largest pieces before they leave Kern County.
Pack sheets, chargers, medicine and papers in your car for the first night.
Interstate moves follow the FMCSA rules on Protect Your Move. Four points to know before loading:
Under 49 CFR 375.505, the bill of lading lists the agreed date or period for pickup and delivery.
FMCSA explains your rights, the inventory and claims in Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move. Read it before loading day.
Per the Alabama Department of Revenue, a car with valid out-of-state plates has 30 days from entering Alabama to be registered.
The same department says Alabama law has no emissions test before registration.
Move went smoothly from start to finish. All employees were very nice & helpful.
Excellent moving experience! Luis, Mike L and Mike M were professional, timely and efficient. They were careful with my belongings from start to finish. Highly recommend!
Mentors Movers were great! Very easy to work with and fair pricing. The two movers were polite and very helpful. I highly recommend using Mentors Moving!

Look at another long run from Kern County, or add a service to your Alabama move.
Plan on several days of driving once the truck is loaded. Your pickup date and delivery window are written on the bill of lading before anything goes on the truck, and your coordinator updates you along the way.
The driver takes the open Mississippi crossing instead, and your coordinator calls if the detour changes the arrival time in Alabama.
No. Alabama law does not require one before registration, but you still have a set window to register after arriving.
Yes. An assigned coordinator runs your move from booking to delivery and is the person you call with questions.
Yes. After pickup, the load can stay in storage and travel to Alabama once you hold the keys. Storage is billed on its own line.
Tell us the street you are leaving in Kern County, the Birmingham neighborhood you are heading to, a target week and how many bedrooms you have. You get a written price range and a proposed pickup date.
