I had a relatively small move—about 15 plastic bins, 5 boxes, a sofa, 4 TVs, and a few other miscellaneous items. What really worried me was the distance, since I was moving all the way from Los Angeles to Philadelphia. I honestly expected that at least a couple of things might get lost along the wa...

These men were efficient and packed the van so nothing would slide around. They arrived 10 minutes early and finished the job ahead of time. I appreciated that they made sure that none of the things would get damaged or missed during the relocation, which was the main concern.

All the tools and sports gear in the garage were sorted quickly and carefully. I didn’t expect them to even touch that stuff, but they had no problem dealing with it. Huge help on a hectic day.

The team handled all the details, making sure nothing was overlooked. I could tell they took pride in their work, and that made a huge difference for me. Royal Treatment.

Moving musical gear can be annoying when it's a mix of small and awkward items. I had cables, stands, boxes of old equipment, and a couple of larger items to transport across town. The crew got it done without breaking pace. I gave the address and a quick rundown, and they just handled it. No confus...

The truck was packed neatly, fragile boxes double-checked, and furniture placed carefully. They handled it so professionally, gave me confidence and made the day feel much easier than I thought.

The movers turned up right when they said they would, loaded up, and got it delivered without delay. The whole thing took less time than expected, which worked out perfectly for my schedule. Easily the best moving experience I have had so far. It all worked out well!

We moved our parents’ old furniture to a charity center. The movers were respectful and took good care of the pieces, even though they were heavy and old. They wrapped the wooden chairs and didn’t drag anything. It felt nice to see how careful they were with items that had sentimental value.

We used a service to move my grandparents into a retirement place. The movers worked steadily, talked kindly to them, and made sure their new space felt comfortable before leaving.

We had furniture, plants, and several fragile decorations. The movers packed everything tightly with blankets and plastic wrap. They kept in touch during the trip, sending updates about where the truck was. When it arrived, everything looked perfect. They placed each item exactly where I asked.

We moved my dad’s old workshop to a new spot. The crew lifted heavy benches and packed tools in boxes. They worked through the day and left the place ready for him to start again.

The crew members helped me move my furniture to a storage unit while I found a new place. He showed up with a small team and got everything loaded without much back-and-forth. They were polite, stayed focused, and got the job done within a few hours.

They packed everything neatly and carried it out with care. They didn't complain once, even though it was hot and humid. They stayed friendly the whole time and made sure my furniture fit nicely in each room.

Who's moving to Sylmar, CA

Federal tax-filer migration data for Los Angeles County.

285,327 households moved in or out · the busiest moving market in the U.S.
What kind of mover will you need?
Moving in
122,437 households arrived
17% under 50 mi 25% 50–250 mi 52% over 250 mi 7% not attributed

52% arrived from elsewhere in California. Most arrivals are in-state moves, so a regional company will usually cover it — check interstate authority only if you're crossing a state line.

Moving out
162,890 households left
16% under 50 mi 31% 50–250 mi 47% over 250 mi 6% not attributed

78% of departures went farther than 50 miles. Beyond that range moves are priced by weight and distance, and a state line means the carrier needs interstate authority.

Households arriving from another state report $95,475 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in California report $82,810. Long-distance arrivals are the higher-budget half of the market.

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.

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.
