46%

54%

Out of all California household moves, approximately 46% of them have been local ones, with 54% of the people moving to another state in the country.

Who regulates California local movers

When contacting local California moving companies, make sure to check their cal-T number issued by the California Public Utilities Commission.

Household goods moving companies must obtain permits from the PUC after proving financial and safety fitness.

They must also prove that they have adequate insurance and they are subject to criminal background clearance by the California Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Address: SSRS Unit 505, Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94102-3298
