The 2 guys from Moving Experience packed and loaded our entire house into a storage pod. They were professional and very quick despite the unexpected rain! Fingers crossed that it “unpacks “ with everything intact…

I initially did a quick search and was surprised to find this company very close to home. I called May 16 and spoke to Don who asked me some simple questions about piano type, size, and distance from store to our home. The quote I received was shockingly very reasonable. Conversation was straightfor...

Don and his team gently but deftly moved our family heirloom antique piano from Burbank, California to Cottonwood, Arizona. We were very pleased with how they safely moved it out of the CA house and over to AZ. Nice work boys! They took great care of my baby. Thank you.

Best moving experience I’ve ever had! The team at The Moving Experience are incredibly hardworking. After a great experience using them to move our business, we hired them again just a few months later for our home. Even with rain on moving day, they had everything loaded, transported, and delivered...

Other local moving companies quoted $100 more to $1000 more for the same service. Shame on them, especially that I’m a senior citizen. I highly recommend you call for a quote before you make your decision.

Great experience! Family-owned team of three guys who were kind, patient, and professional. They made my move smooth and stress-free, which meant a lot as I was handling everything on my own with my dog. Highly recommend!

My wife and I rented a U-Haul from Furniture Plus and had a great experience. We originally booked a 20-ft truck because it was the only one showing available in the app. When we arrived for pickup, we noticed a 15-ft truck parked next to it, which was actually the size we wanted and also a cheaper...

I cannot recommend this moving company enough! They specialize in moving unique, bulky, heavy, and difficult items—and they truly delivered beyond expectations. We had a major challenge: a large couch that absolutely could not fit through our stairwell because it was too long. Multiple companies ref...

We needed a 375 lb gun safe moved down 16 steps. Louie and his team moved the large piece flawlessly, smoothly, and safely. They worked hard to protect our hardwood stairs and bamboo flooring and never scratched a thing. The team was professional, kind, and fun to be around. Highly recommend!

If it were possible to give The Moving Experience, six stars, I would. I had an odd request--could you help me move my mom's dog Minnie from the central coast to Arkansas so I can adopt Minnie? Without hesitation, Aaron and his team helped me to get all the Vet paperwork and correct kennel to ship m...

How many people actually move between Santa Maria and Illinois

Federal tax-filer records, 2022-2023

+18 net
57 out
75 in

Over the year, 57 people moved from Santa Maria to Illinois, and 75 came back the other way. The move crosses a state line, so the company you hire must hold active interstate operating authority with the FMCSA.

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.
