Quick and friendly crew. Stayed within estimated budget and worked with urgency. My only complaint is none of the furniture was wrapped with plastic or blankets and we’ve since found many scuffs and nicks on our furniture that weren’t there before.

Rational moving just moved us from Scotts Valley to Bonny Doon and I'm so glad I hired them! Rick and Roman came to our home in Scotts Valley for an estimate and the price they quoted is the price they moved us for, no extras or add-on fees despite stairs, a fridge that required disassembly, and som...

A really great move - on a really *complicated* job! We recently hired Farnsworth to help us move a church, a preschool and a priest to prep for a renovation project. We had things going to other spaces in the church, and things going to two different storage sites, over multiple days. Kirk, Bryan,...

Fantastic young crew. Very polite and professional, they handled all of our furniture with excellent care. We went from old rental to new rental without any issues or damage to anything. Do not plan on moving anytime soon, but I would absolutely hire this crew again.

Kirk and Bryan were fantastic to work with and moved our preschool and church. They suggested ways to make the move smoother and faster. Despite unexpected work in front of our building, Kirk and his team worked over the weekend to accelerate the timeline. The moving crew was kind and professional....

Bryan and Eduardo were exceptional, they arrived promptly, walked through our home to assess the load, protected and wrapped furniture and wasted no time. They are true professionals ! I reccommend Earl Farnsworth express anytime you won't be sorry.

We had a stellar experience with team from Earl Farnsworth Express! Not only were they able to schedule a big job on short notice, but they gave us very good pricing. The professional crew showed up early and wasted no time in getting the project done, including moving a 600lb machine up a flight of...

Farnsworth is one of the best movers have worked with ever! From the beginning of a long and stressful process they were with my all the way to shipping my furniture across the country to Boston. In particular, I thank Drew, Jose and Ken for steering me through. The actual movers, Jorge, Eduardo, Ma...

Last week Bryan's Crew from Earl Farnsworth Express/Mayflower moved my furniture up a flight of stairs and into a new apartment. They were fast and careful and professional and most of all very nice young men. That's Bryan and Carlos! They arrived on time and were both really responsible for making...

Bryan and his crew - specifically Matt - did a wonderful job when moving a number of our furnishings. They both took extreme care when prepping the furnishings to be moved and everything was packed and secured with the utmost of care. Bryan communicated every step of the way and he and his co-worker...

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.
