Trusted Long-Distance Moving Company
โ No Spam โ No Hidden Fees โ No Obligation
Moving of America moves families and businesses from New Jersey to Los Angeles, California. We are a licensed interstate carrier based in Ridgefield, New Jersey (USDOT #1601312, NJ License #39PC00096600). Since 2007, we have moved customers with our own trucks and trained teams.
When you hire our NJ to Los Angeles movers, your Move Advisor plans the move around the list of your things, the services you pick, and your new LA address. Before moving day, we check street parking rules, building access, and delivery needs at both homes. Packing, furniture protection, loading, the drive west, unloading, and optional storage all follow one written moving plan.
Moves start at $1,250. Every move begins with a written binding estimate based on the belongings and services listed. Your Move Advisor explains what is included and what it costs, and puts any change you ask for in writing before extra work begins.
Los Angeles is about 2,890 miles from our Ridgefield office. Most shipments arrive within 14 to 21 business days of loading. We confirm your delivery window in writing before your move, whether you are heading to Santa Monica, the San Fernando Valley, Pasadena, Long Beach, or another part of Los Angeles County.
On a 2,890-mile move, it matters who has your things. Moving of America is the carrier on every New Jersey to Los Angeles move. Our own employees load your belongings, drive them west, and deliver them. You work with one company and one team the whole way.
A broker sells your move to another company. Moving of America is not a broker. You can check our operating authority on the FMCSA SAFER system under USDOT #1601312 before you book. Your written estimate lists the services and delivery terms for your move.
A cross-country move has many moving parts, so you deserve a price you can plan around. Your Move Advisor walks through your home room by room, in person or by video call, and builds a list of your things. That list becomes your written binding estimate.
If the work in your estimate takes longer than planned, your price stays the same. If you add items or services, we explain the change and confirm it in writing before the extra work starts.
We plan each move around what you need. Our team can pack your home, take apart and put back together furniture, wrap every piece, drive it to California, and place items in the rooms you choose. Your MoveView package and written estimate show exactly what is included.
Tell us about fragile items, fine art, and pianos during the estimate. That way we bring the right packing materials and plan special care for valuables before the long drive. Your Move Advisor stays your single point of contact from start to finish.
Every member of our moving team is background-checked and trained in-house. Moving of America is a fully licensed, insured, and accredited interstate carrier.
A long trip west means more miles for your belongings, so protection matters. Before moving day, your Move Advisor explains your valuation coverage options, what each one covers, and what the mover is liable for if something is lost or damaged. Then you pick the level of protection that fits you.
Most delivery problems happen at the new address, so that is where our planning starts. Los Angeles and its neighboring cities each set their own street parking rules for moving trucks. Many high-rise and condo buildings also ask for an elevator reservation and a Certificate of Insurance.
California adds one more step that surprises many New Jersey families. New Jersey is a federal spongy moth quarantine area, so you must inspect outdoor items like grills, patio furniture, and bikes before they move west. Your Move Advisor reviews these rules for your address well before moving day, so our team arrives ready.
Use these estimated price ranges to plan your move from New Jersey to Los Angeles. Bedroom count is only a guide. Your written binding estimate is based on the list of your things, your Los Angeles address, and the services you choose.
Representative route: 395 Broad Avenue, Ridgefield, NJ to Los Angeles, CA. Mileage and car travel time are approximate and vary by route and traffic; moving-truck schedules differ.
Distance and driving time are approximate. They change with your New Jersey pickup address, your Los Angeles area destination, the route, and traffic. Driving time is not the same as your shipmentโs delivery window, which we confirm in writing before your move.

Your selected MoveView package determines the services included in your move.

Review your valuation and protection options before booking. Your written estimate confirms the selected services and costs.

Street parking is tight in most Los Angeles neighborhoods, and a moving truck needs a long stretch of open curb. Inside the City of Los Angeles, curb space for moving day is held with temporary No Parking signs requested through the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT). These requests have to be made well before moving day.
Many places people call โLAโ are separate cities with their own rules. Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Culver City, Burbank, Glendale, and Pasadena each set their own process for moving-truck parking. Pasadena, for example, bans overnight street parking from 2 AM to 6 AM. As fees and procedures change, we recommend checking the cityโs current guidance before applying.
During planning, your Move Advisor works out how much curb space the truck will need and confirms the parking deadlines for your new address.
California limits where long tractor-trailers can travel. Under California Vehicle Code Section 35401.5, a 53-foot trailer must have its rear axle within 40 feet of the kingpin, and it is limited mainly to interstates and approved truck routes. Many Los Angeles neighborhood streets are not on those routes, so some deliveries need a smaller shuttle truck for the last stretch.
Hillside homes add more planning. In the Hollywood Hills, Silver Lake, and Mount Washington, many streets are narrow and winding, with steep driveways. During fire season, the Los Angeles Fire Department can also turn on Red Flag no-parking rules for posted narrow streets in very high fire hazard areas, and cars parked there are towed. Your team checks truck access and Red Flag alerts before delivery and plans around them when your street is affected.
Your Los Angeles move-in date often depends on someone elseโs timeline. Home purchases close through escrow, and apartment leases and building move-in slots are set by landlords and property managers. If your date shifts, tell your Move Advisor right away so we can adjust storage and delivery plans.
Moving of America provides storage-in-transit when there is a gap between your New Jersey move-out and your Los Angeles move-in. All customers can choose to use one month of free storage. Let your Move Advisor know if you would like to use this option.
Our team guides your move from the first walkthrough in New Jersey to delivery and setup at your new Los Angeles home.
First, your Move Advisor walks through your home in person or by video call and makes a list of your things. We use that list and the services you pick to prepare your written binding estimate.
Then you choose a MoveView Package, from the Bronze Package to Elite White Glove, based on how much help you want.
Next, our team plans the route west and checks your Los Angeles address. We look at street parking rules, elevator reservations, building move-in hours, and any paperwork your building needs, such as a Certificate of Insurance.
Before the truck is loaded, our movers pack, wrap, and label your belongings based on the services you chose. You get an itemized inventory of everything going to California.
On moving day, we review the Bill of Lading with you and ask for your signature before loading starts. Our team protects your floors and door frames, loads your belongings, and secures them for the long drive.
Your belongings travel about 2,890 miles along the planned route. Most shipments arrive within 14 to 21 business days of loading. We confirm your delivery window in writing before your move.
When we deliver to your new home, our team unloads your belongings, places items in the rooms you choose, and puts furniture back together as included in your package. We can also take away used packing materials if that is part of your moving plan.
Your NJ to Los Angeles moving estimate starts with the list of your things, your LA destination, your move date, and the services you choose. Your Move Advisor also checks access at both homes, including stairs, elevators, parking, and how far the truck can park from your door.
We also review packing needs, special items, and any storage plans. All customers can choose to use one month of free storage. Your written binding estimate lists the agreed price and what is included. If you ask for anything extra, we explain it and confirm it in writing before the extra work begins.

| What changes your price | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Household inventory | Determines team size, required truck capacity, and total labor hours. |
| Packing scope | Full-service packing, partial packing, and owner-packed cartons are each priced differently. |
| Access at both homes | Stairs, elevators, long carries, Los Angeles street parking rules, and shuttle trucks for hillside homes affect labor time. |
| Specialty items | Pianos, fine art, safes, and crated antiques require additional handling and materials. |
| Storage-in-transit | All customers can choose to use one month of free storage when they need it. |
| Move date | Summer and end-of-month dates are typically reserved first. |
Your moving inventory helps us plan the truck space, team, equipment, and handling your move needs. Your Move Advisor notes what is going to Los Angeles, what is staying behind, and what needs storage or special care.
Two homes with the same number of bedrooms can cost different amounts because their belongings and service needs differ. On a cross-country move, every item you sell, donate, or leave behind before the walkthrough may help lower your cost.
A binding estimate sets a fixed price for the belongings and services listed in the agreement. A non-binding estimate is an approximation, so the final cost can change. A binding estimate gives you greater cost certainty for the work included.
Moving of America prepares your written binding estimate from your inventory and selected services. If you request additional items or services, we explain and confirm any price adjustment in writing before the additional work begins. Financing is available if you would like to spread the cost over time.
Since 2007, weโve learned that no two moves are the same. Thatโs why we offer flexible moving packages so you can get exactly what you need and nothing you donโt.
Here are some of the Los Angeles areas we move New Jersey families to, from Downtown LA and the Westside to the valleys and the South Bay. Each one has its own moving-day details.
| Los Angeles Area | Moving-Day Planning |
|---|---|
| Downtown Los Angeles (DTLA, Koreatown, Mid-Wilshire) | Many deliveries here go to high-rise apartments and lofts. These buildings often need a Certificate of Insurance, a loading dock booking, and a reserved freight elevator. Downtown LA is about 2,890 miles from our Ridgefield, NJ office, so we confirm your buildingโs rules well before the truck leaves New Jersey. |
| The Westside (Santa Monica, Culver City, Beverly Hills, West LA) | Santa Monica, Culver City, and Beverly Hills are separate cities from Los Angeles, and each sets its own street parking rules for moving trucks. Here you have busy streets and limited curb space, so we check the rules for your exact address and plan where the truck will park. |
| Hollywood Hills & Hillside Neighborhoods (Silver Lake, Echo Park, Mount Washington) | Here you have narrow, winding streets and steep driveways. A full-size trailer often cannot reach the door, so we confirm truck access before moving day and plan a shuttle truck when needed. During fire season, we also check for Red Flag no-parking days on your street. |
| San Fernando Valley (Sherman Oaks, Studio City, Encino, Burbank) | Many deliveries here go to single-family homes with driveways and garages. Summer days in the Valley can get very hot, so tell us about heat-sensitive items like electronics, candles, and vinyl records during your estimate so we can pack them with care. |
| Pasadena & the San Gabriel Valley | Pasadena bans overnight street parking from 2 AM to 6 AM, so we plan delivery for daytime hours. Many homes here are older Craftsman houses with tight stairs and narrow doorways, which we look at closely during the estimate. |
| South Bay & Long Beach (Torrance, Manhattan Beach, Long Beach) | Beach-area streets can be narrow, and some neighborhoods have permit-only parking. We confirm parking and unloading access at your new address and plan the delivery around heavy weekday traffic on the I-405. |

No. Your Los Angeles move is priced based on a written inventory of your belongings and the services included in your move. Your Move Advisor records your items room by room and uses that list to prepare your All-Inclusive Binding Estimate.
In most cases, you need to reserve curb space. Inside the City of Los Angeles, this is done with temporary No Parking signs requested through LADOT, and requests should be made well before moving day.

Your Move Advisor identifies the right process and deadlines for your address at the time of booking.
Yes. Our storage-in-transit service keeps your belongings in our secure facility between your New Jersey move-out and your Los Angeles move-in. This helps when escrow runs late or a lease start date changes. All customers can choose to use one month of free storage. Your Move Advisor coordinates storage and delivery around your schedule.
Yes. New Jersey is a federal spongy moth quarantine area and California is not. Federal rules require you to inspect outdoor household items, such as grills, patio furniture, bikes, and childrenโs play equipment, before you move. You can record your inspection on the USDA spongy moth self-inspection checklist and give a copy to your driver.
Many high-rise and condo buildings in Downtown Los Angeles, Century City, and along the Wilshire Corridor require a Certificate of Insurance (COI) before a moving company can use the loading dock or service elevator. Requirements and deadlines vary by building.
Ask your property manager for the buildingโs insurance requirements and move-in rules, then send them to your Move Advisor. You can request a Certificate of Insurance from us before moving day.
