Immanuel, Rene, and Javier did a great job packing our one bedroom apartment for a PCS move across the country. They arrived shortly after 8AM and got right to work. The process took the better part of the day, but they were professional and took care to make sure all of our belongings were wrapped...

As a military family, we move around often. It’s not all the time you have packers who respect your space during a move. We had a great experience with Immanuel G, Mundo, Oscar, Oscar Jr, and Julio. These gentlemen were extremely professional and did a great job packing and loading up our stuff. The...

How many people actually move between Monterey and San Jose, CA

Federal tax-filer records, 2022-2023 · about 51 miles apart

-24 net
967 out
943 in

Over the year, 967 people moved from Monterey to San Jose, CA, and 943 came back the other way. At 51 miles this is a long-haul job, priced by weight and distance rather than by the hour.

Where this comes from: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023 — the IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns; the counts above are the people on those returns. County-level and about two years behind.

How much truck space do you need?

I’m moving a that’s .

A moving truck filling up as you change the options
1,150
cubic feet — what a local crew loads
8,050 lb what a long-distance carrier quotes on
26 ft rental truck, if you drive it yourself

Industry rules of thumb — about seven pounds per cubic foot, and published rental-truck capacities. Not our carrier records, not a quote. Bring both numbers to the call and what you get back will finally be comparable.
