After you arrive
What do I need to set up after moving to Mesa?
Register your car with ADOT MVD as soon as you become an Arizona resident, after an emissions test if it needs one. Then set up utilities: the City of Mesa supplies electric to part of the city and SRP the rest, and the city also runs water, gas in much of Mesa, and trash.
Mesa arrival checklist
Weather
How do you handle a Mesa move in summer heat?
We start early. From May through September, ask for the first loading slot in San Diego so the truck unloads in Mesa in the cooler part of the day, and keep medicines, electronics and anything that melts in your car. Monsoon storms from June 15 to September 30 can pause unloading for a while.
Your rights
What protects my things on the way to Mesa?
Crossing into Arizona makes this an interstate move under the federal FMCSA. Full Value Protection is the default unless you waive it in writing; the waiver option, released value, pays only 60 cents per pound per article. Our USDOT 1956864 and MC 694565 are on FMCSA SAFER.

Dates don’t line up?
What if my Mesa home isn’t ready?
