What to check before booking
California permits movers to charge double drive time - twice the hourly rate for the trip between their base and your addresses - so ask exactly how travel time is calculated. Compton's tighter streets, apartment complexes, and street-sweeping windows can also push the truck far from your door, which adds a long-carry fee; reserving parking ahead of time avoids it.
Every intrastate mover must hold a CAL-T license from the Bureau of Household Goods and Services, and asking for that number is the fastest legitimacy check. On coverage, the released-value protection built into a quote pays only $0.60 per pound per item - a smashed 20-pound television returns $12 - so Full Value Protection is worth pricing out for electronics and good furniture. Tipping is customary at $20 - $40 for each mover on a half-day job, and cash on hand keeps that simple.

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Los Angeles County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 6% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
