Starting fresh in North Texas? Our Bakersfield to Dallas movers pack your household and drive it across the Southwest on one truck to your new Dallas door. Get a quote.
We only contact you about this request. Your number is never shared.
Jesse Lovan and Chris Shipp grew up in Bakersfield and still own and run Mentors Moving & Storage. Your Dallas move is planned in their Gilmore Avenue office by people who know the valley, then carried east by movers on our own payroll.
Every mover on your job is an employee of the company, and the people who load your home are the ones who unload it in Texas.
Owners raised in Bakersfield
We list every room and large piece and set the delivery window in writing.
Your home stays on the same truck from Kern County to Dallas.
Furniture goes to the rooms you choose, and beds are rebuilt before we leave.
Find your home size below for the usual price of this trip. Each range covers the movers, the truck, the days on the road and the fuel surcharge.
Where you land depends on volume, stairs or elevators at both homes, the walk from the truck and your dates. Booking early gives you more choice of loading days for the trip east.
Packing, materials, storage and higher valuation are extras, each listed separately.
Most of this drive runs on one long interstate across the high desert. Winter is when it closes.
Interstate moves follow federal rules, and the Protect Your Move page explains them. Four points:
Before you sign the bill of lading, the mover must give you a written estimate, under 49 CFR 375.213.
The same rule calls for a notice that you may see the mover’s tariff.
Read the FMCSA Ready to Move brochure for a short checklist of what to expect before, during and after the move.
We put the loading day and delivery window on your paperwork before the first box goes on.
Hold boxes and old furniture for your brush and bulky week and set them out only Thursday through Sunday before it, 5 feet from carts and mailboxes. A once-a-year oversize pickup handles bigger cleanouts. In a Resident Parking Only zone, buy RPO hang tags with your license, a lease or utility bill and proof of insurance.
Three Google reviews from customers of our Kern County office.
For our big move to new orleans, which with this huge Cali storm has been stressful enough. Just wanted to send a big thanks to our movers Charlie and Jay Jay for all of their help and fast efficient work. You guys were a godsend!!!! Thanks so much!!
Our moving experience was fantastic. Jose, Brandon and Vincent were phenomenal. They were very careful with all of our stuff and worked so hard to get it all into our house. They worked for nearly 9 hours and were still hustling at the end. We have stairs and they were still running up them at the end of the day. They were also very nice and pleasant to deal with.
Their service was amazing. They gave me a quote, and the men finished early, and I ended up paying way less….I was so happy! The men were polite, asked me where I wanted things to go, and fast! Very happy with my MOVE!

We review rooms, big pieces and access at both homes, then book the pickup.
Pack yourself or have our packers take the kitchen, art and closets.
Heavy pieces go low and forward, cartons fill the gaps and each tier is strapped tight.
Your home crosses Arizona, New Mexico and the Panhandle with no transfers.
We carry each piece to its room and put beds and tables back together.
Book any of these with your move.
Phone our Kern County office for a written range and a planned loading day.
Several days from pickup to delivery. The drive alone runs far past a full day for a loaded truck, and the delivery window goes in writing before loading.
Jesse Lovan and Chris Shipp, both raised in Bakersfield. They run the company from our Gilmore Avenue office in Kern County.
Yes. Every mover on your job works for Mentors Moving & Storage, from loading in Kern County to unloading in Dallas.
The truck waits at a safe stop for the road to reopen, and we call you with the new arrival time.
Yes. Your load can stay in storage after pickup and go to Texas once you have a closing date. Storage is a separate quote line from the move.
Tell us your Kern County address, the Dallas address, your target week and your bedroom count by phone or form. A price range and a loading date come back in writing.
