Settling into the Old Pueblo? Our Bakersfield to Tucson movers load your household, make the long haul to southern Arizona and unload it room by room. Request a quote now.
We only contact you about this request. Your number is never shared.
Our 18 trucks and 20 drivers are registered with FMCSA, so this trip runs on Mentors equipment from start to finish. An assigned move coordinator books your loading day, puts the delivery window in writing and checks in while the truck crosses two states.
Every mover on the job finished our 160-hour training program before working a move. Tucson counted 542,629 residents in the 2020 Census, so we ask early about gates, stairs and parking at your new address.
Pick your home size to see the usual cost of this trip. Labor, the truck, the multi-day drive and the fuel surcharge are already inside each range.
A light load with the truck parked at the door lands low. Long carries, stairs, gated entry rules or a peak summer week land higher, and storage between homes adds its own line.
Packing help, cartons, storage and extra valuation each show as their own line.
The second half of the drive runs through low desert where summer storms can flood roads fast. These are the conditions we plan for.
Five steps to take before the truck is loaded.
Monsoon storms run through late summer. A spring or fall move avoids most of the flash flood risk.
Ask your new community for its gate access, moving hours and truck parking rules in writing.
Wrap wood furniture well and keep candles, vinyl and medicine out of the truck.
The mover must hand you two FMCSA booklets with your written estimate. Read both before loading day.
Arrange power and water at the Tucson address so the home is ready the day the truck arrives.
With your written estimate, the mover must give you the FMCSA booklets Ready to Move and Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move, under 49 CFR 375.213. The bill of lading must also show the agreed date or period for pickup and delivery under federal rule 375.505.
In Tucson, TEP may ask for a deposit of up to twice the average monthly bill, credited back after a year of on-time payments. Let Tucson Water turn on service, since there is a $30 turn-on charge and a $120 tampering fee for doing it yourself. Save bulky debris for your Brush and Bulky week, which comes twice a year.
I hired Mentors to move from California to New Mexico. I’ve had bad experiences in the past so was leery to trust anyone, but Mentors put me completely at ease. The crews were polite, professional, and efficient. Packing, loading, and delivery were all on time on promised dates. If you need to move then this is your company!
I was very pleased with mentor movers. They showed up on time and had a very good hard-working crew. Everyone was very professional and efficient. I would highly recommend this company . Thank you Carlos our driver and Wilbur, earl & makien , very impressed with the speed and efficiency of loading our items into the trailer. They were very careful with our items and wrapped and packaged things that needed more protection.
The Mentors Moving crew was very fast and efficient. The crew was friendly and professional. I would highly recommend them for any size move in town.

We inventory and pad your Kern County home, load it on our own truck and drive it to Arizona with a delivery window you can plan around. Your coordinator stays your contact from booking to the last box.
Our packers handle the whole home or only the kitchen, art and electronics, and they label each carton with its new room. Unpacking help at the Tucson end can be added too.
If your Tucson home is not ready, your belongings can wait in storage after loading and travel east when you have the keys. The storage stop is priced on its own line.
Retiring to southern Arizona? We help sort, pack and set up the new home, and family can join every planning call.
Uprights and grands get padding, a piano board and extra hands at both ends of the trip, so the instrument is carried, not dragged.
For fine furniture and art, we add extra wrapping, careful placement and full setup at delivery.
Also from our Bakersfield office: corporate relocation, labor-only movers and international movers, each added to the same plan.
It is more than a full day of driving for a loaded truck. Your coordinator agrees on the loading day and delivery window with you before anything is packed.
You do not have to, but spring and fall carry less flash flood risk. In summer the truck waits out any storm that floods the road.
Yes. Our trucks and drivers are registered with FMCSA, and your home stays on one truck the whole way.
Yes. Send us the gate code and the HOA moving rules, and we plan truck parking and timing around them.
Yes. After loading, your household can sit in storage until closing day, then head to Arizona. Storage is billed apart from the move.
