Questions about moving in Bakersfield

How many moving companies are there in Bakersfield?

143 carriers based in Bakersfield are registered with the US Department of Transportation to carry household goods for hire and updated their registration in the last two years. 108 of the companies listed here are licensed for moves to other states.

How do I check that a Bakersfield mover is licensed?

Ask for the company’s USDOT number and look it up in the government’s public record (every listing here links to it). For a move to another state the mover also needs an active out-of-state license, shown as an MC number. For a move within California, also check the mover with the Bureau of Household Goods and Services (California Department of Consumer Affairs).

Do movers need a license for a local move in Bakersfield?

Companies moving household goods within, into, or out of California must be licensed by BHGS, and must show their permit number in all ads and on every vehicle. For moves within California, it is illegal for a mover to give an estimate without a visual inspection, and BHGS recommends doing that inspection in person.

What is the cheapest way to move?

Move less. Every item you sell before moving day is one less thing to pack, load and pay to carry. Price it to go, and let the price drop each day until you move.
