Truck options
How do I choose between a dedicated truck, a shared load and a container?
Pick a dedicated truck for a full home and fixed dates: it carries only your household and goes straight to your new door. A shared load suits a small load going far, priced by volume with a minimum, and can take up to 21 days. A portable container suits a pack-it-yourself move.
Our long-distance page has every price, and the shared-load guide shows where one option beats the other.
Three ways to move long distance
Plan your move
How do I plan a long-distance move?
Start with a free in-home or virtual walkthrough so your price and dates are in writing. Then check your mover on FMCSA SAFER, read the federal booklet, and work through a checklist so moving day holds no surprises.
Interstate moves follow FMCSA rules: Full Value Protection is the default unless you waive it in writing, and released value pays only 60 cents per pound per article. Read Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move before you sign.

FAQs
Common Questions
Short answers to what customers ask most, for local and long-distance moves.
All moving questionsHow do moving companies charge for local moves?
California local moves are priced by the hour, and every local move gets a written Not-to-Exceed price (a California BHGS rule). One Stop Moving & Storage charges $139 an hour for 2 movers and a truck (local moving), billed in 15-minute increments. Your written Not-to-Exceed price lists every charge before move day.
Do I need a visual estimate for my move?
We recommend one. Your written estimate follows an in-home or virtual walkthrough, and virtual walkthroughs are available anywhere, San Diego County included. A number given over the phone or online is a ballpark, not a binding estimate.
Do I pay before or after my move?
Payment terms are spelled out in your free written quote. Every local move also gets a written Not-to-Exceed price, so you know the most you will pay before move day.
Do I need to tip the movers?
Tipping is optional and up to you. If the crew went above and beyond, such as tricky stairs or extra care with fragile pieces, a tip in cash or a thank-you note is a kind gesture. Cold water and snacks on a long day are always welcome.
Do I need to empty my dresser/file cabinet?
Dresser: if it is solid wood, you can leave clothes and light items in it; if it is pressed wood, please empty it. File cabinet: yes, please remove everything.
What items will I need for the day of /after my move?
Pack a first-night box and keep it with you, or ask the crew to load it last so it comes off first: toiletries; pillows, sheets and blankets; towels; a change of clothes; bags for laundry and trash; toilet paper, hand soap and paper towels; paper plates and a few utensils; a basic tool kit; snacks and easy food for 2 days; pet food, leash and toys; phone and laptop chargers; keys and garage openers; kids’ backpacks and school things.
