Local jobs under 100 miles are billed hourly, while long-distance pricing follows weight and mileage. A two-person California crew averages around $122 per hour, with rates anywhere from $90 to $160+ depending on the company, the truck and whether you need a third mover.

Details that change the price
- Travel billing: most crews charge a travel fee or double-drive time under California regulation, covering the trip from their warehouse to you and often twice the time between addresses, so get it in writing.
- Truck access: Ukiah's tight streets, narrow rural driveways and low tree branches can block a full-size truck, and movers may add a shuttle fee to transfer everything into a smaller vehicle, so describe your street early.
- Season: May through September is peak season with higher rates and tighter calendars; moving between October and April usually costs less.
- Licensing: hire only a mover with a valid CAL-T number from the Bureau of Household Goods and Services, which confirms mandatory basic coverage of $0.60 per pound per article.

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 Mendocino County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 50% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
