This is the longest trip we run from our Gilmore Avenue office. Your home goes on a dedicated truck in Kern County, heads out on CA-58 and crosses the country on I-15, I-70, I-76 and I-80 before the last miles into the city. Nothing is moved to a second truck along the way.
The people who wrap, carry and load your things are employees of Mentors Moving & Storage. If your apartment is not ready when the truck is, your belongings can wait in storage that is monitored 24/7.
Three things decide where your New York move lands.
How many rooms and large pieces you bring sets the movers and the truck space.
Elevators, walk-ups and the walk from the curb add time at delivery.
Summer weeks book first, and a firm move-in date can call for a storage stop.
The movers, the truck, the cross-country drive and the fuel surcharge are inside each range.
| Size of home | Movers and truck | Price range |
|---|---|---|
| Studio or one bedroom | 2 movers, 1 truck | $17,500 – $19,800 |
| Two or three bedrooms | 3 movers, 1 truck | $24,350 – $27,800 |
| Four bedrooms and up | 4 movers, 2 trucks | $35,400 – $40,450 |
Packing, cartons, storage and added valuation are quoted as their own lines.
Interstate moves follow the federal rules on Protect Your Move. When a delivery has to wait for a closing or a lease, these points matter.
Under 49 CFR 375.609, before storage in transit runs out, the mover must tell you in writing the date it turns into permanent storage.
The same notice must explain the nine-month period after that date when you can still file a loss or damage claim.
While your load waits, it sits in storage that is watched around the clock.
FMCSA explains estimates, inventories and claims in Ready to Move. Read it before loading day.
Planning to replace the old mattress once you arrive? In New York City, DSNY says mattresses and box springs must be sealed in plastic bags and set out on the trash-only day, and doing it wrong can bring a fine of up to $300. Bag it the day the new one comes, or leave the old one in Bakersfield.

Your move is quoted, booked and tracked from our office on Gilmore Avenue in Bakersfield. The movers who pack your home work for us, and the truck that leaves Kern County is the one that pulls up in New York.
See another long trip from Bakersfield, or add a service to your New York move.
We ask about the building, the elevator, the street and your move-in window before the truck is booked.
Pack yourself or let our packers take the kitchen, closets and fragile pieces.
Heavy pieces sit low and forward, and every tier is strapped for a trip of several days.
Your home stays on the same dedicated truck from Kern County to New York.
We carry each piece in, put furniture back together and set boxes in the right rooms.
Add any of these to the same quote.
The fastest route ends on I-78 at the Holland Tunnel. The Port Authority rules limit what goes through.
We plan the truck and crossing for your borough before loading.
Call our Gilmore Avenue office for a written range and a planned loading day.
It takes several days on the road plus loading and unloading. Your loading day and delivery window are set in writing before anything is packed.
Yes, with planning. Tunnel and street limits shape which truck and crossing we use, and we settle that before loading day.
Your load waits in monitored storage and comes in on the date you set. Federal rules require written notice before storage in transit turns permanent.
Yes. Tell us the floor and the stairs at booking, and we send enough movers to carry everything up.
Many people leave it behind. Getting rid of one in the city means sealing it in a plastic bag, so it can be simpler to replace it on arrival.
Send your Bakersfield address, your New York address, a target week and your bedroom count by phone or form. You get a written range and a loading day.
