Very communicative, frequent text updates from booking to completion. One of the workers called out sick so the owner filled in! Reasonable price!

I can’t say enough to recommend Neostart. I had to move a custom made dining table with a large and fragile glass top. It wasn’t going far, but I had a very tight timeframe and needed to find someone quickly who I could trust not to damage my table. Dave responded immediately and was very up front a...

Neostart did a fantastic job with my move yesterday. Showed up early and ready to roll. Israel and Samuel were friendly and professional and kept their good humor through the tedious job of dismantling a storage bed since it wouldn't fit in the elevator. And bonus they put it back together and it wo...

After relocating an entire household across multiple destinations, I can confidently say that Neostart exceeded every expectation. From start to finish, their team was professional, efficient, and thorough — packing and moving everything in just two days. Every item was handled with exceptional care...

These guys were great. Fast, hard workers. Only one particle board bookshelf damaged and that’s totally not their fault, just particle board for you. Tipped them $100 each!

I had a great experience with Thrifty Moving in Concord. The team came one day to pack all of my boxes and were very organized and careful with everything. The next day they handled the move to my new house, and the whole process went smoothly. The movers were professional, efficient, and respectful...

We love Thrifty Moving & Storage. We used them for several moves over the last 20 years. A Sac Move, Half Moon Bay move, and a So Cal move. Robby in operations is great! The owner is very cool. Takes my boys fishing. 10 Stars!

How many people actually move between Oakland and Bakersfield, CA

Federal tax-filer records, 2022-2023 · about 238 miles apart

+6 net
178 out
184 in

Over the year, 178 people moved from Oakland to Bakersfield, CA, and 184 came back the other way. At 238 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.
