How companies are listed

Listings come from the FMCSA Company Census File, the federal register of companies with a USDOT number (data as of 2026-11-15). We include active registrations that list household goods as cargo, have a moving-related business name, a registration updated within three years, and at least one truck. Order is by fleet size by default. We don't accept payment for placement on this list. If we ever show sponsored companies, they will be clearly labelled. A listing is not an endorsement, and the register doesn't include customer reviews or prices. Report an error or request a correction.

How to choose a mover in Los Angeles

Moving to another state? Use the Interstate filter above and check the company's FMCSA record.
Moving within California? Check the state license too. See below.
Get at least three written estimates after a video or in-home survey.
Compare valuation coverage, the type of estimate and the delivery window, not just the price.
Avoid companies that ask for a large deposit or quote without seeing your belongings. Scam red flags.

Local moving considerations in Los Angeles

Traffic and timing

Hourly local moves include drive time between homes. Starting early in the morning or moving mid-week can cut the hours you pay for.

Hillside and narrow streets

Homes in the hills, canyons and some older neighborhoods may need a smaller shuttle truck. Ask movers to look at both addresses on a video survey so they can plan.

California mover permit

Movers working within California must hold a Household Mover permit from the Bureau of Household Goods and Services. Check the permit number before you book.

Apartments and HOAs

Many buildings set moving hours, elevator reservations and deposits. Check the rules at both ends before choosing a date.

Licensing: checking a Los Angeles mover

California requires every company that moves household goods within the state to hold a Household Mover permit from the Bureau of Household Goods and Services (BHGS), which took over this role from the CPUC. Movers must show their permit number (often called a Cal-T number) on their vehicles. Use the BHGS license search to check the permit is active and the mover is insured.

For a move to another state, check the USDOT number on FMCSA. Step-by-step guide.
