About 110 miles separate your LA front door from a downtown bungalow or a new home in Seven Oaks. Royal Moving Services Inc. runs the LA to Bakersfield corridor as a licensed motor carrier. One crew loads in Los Angeles and unloads in Bakersfield. You get a transparent written quote and one coordinator the whole way.
About 110 miles over the Grapevine.
This is the shortest route in our long-distance lineup. The drive climbs the Grapevine on I-5, then drops into Kern County on CA-99. It is short enough that most moves finish the same day. Wind and winter fog on the pass are the things we watch.
A dedicated express truck almost always delivers the same day. A shared route can cost less if your dates are flexible. It usually delivers within a couple of days. Your coordinator confirms which option fits your move before booking. Compare options on our long-distance moving page.

Your LA to Bakersfield move, step by step.
01
Survey & transparent quote
We do a video or in-home walk-through of your LA place, then put the price in writing with the full cost laid out up front, so there are no surprises on loading day.
02
Pack & load in LA
The crew wraps and pads your belongings, loads the truck, and logs an inventory so every item is accounted for before it leaves the curb.
03
Grapevine transit
Your coordinator tracks the truck over the Grapevine and gives you a delivery window for Bakersfield, with updates if weather slows the route.
04
Delivery & setup
We unload, place furniture, reassemble what we took apart, and check the inventory against what arrived before the crew leaves.
Consolidated or express. You pick the trade.
On a 110-mile move the choice is mostly about timing versus cost. Here is the honest difference so you can decide which one fits.
Consolidated Delivery
Lower cost, wider window
Your shipment shares truck space with other moves heading the same direction. It is the more affordable choice and a good fit when your Bakersfield move-in date is flexible.
Delivery lands inside a window, generally within a day or two from your first available date. You get a narrowed date range as the truck nears Kern County.
Express Delivery
Dedicated truck, faster door to door
A truck and driver assigned only to your move. Your belongings are not combined with anyone else's, so loading and delivery run on a tighter, more predictable schedule.
LA to Bakersfield runs about one day door to door. It costs more, and it is worth it when you need your things by a set date.

The company you book is the company that shows up.
A lot of cross-country "movers" are brokers. They take your deposit, then sell the job to whichever carrier bids lowest, and you find out who is handling your belongings when a truck you have never heard of pulls up. Long-distance moves out of Los Angeles are run by Royal Moving Services Inc., a licensed carrier with its own trucks, its own crews, and its own federal authority.
That means one accountable party from your LA pickup to your Bakersfield delivery. Every interstate move carries the federally required liability coverage, with full-value protection available, and the terms are written into your quote before you sign.

What changes when you trade LA for Bakersfield.
Space and value are the draw. Downtown and Westchester hold older bungalows on established streets. The Southwest and Seven Oaks bring newer homes with garages and wide lots. Northwest and Rosedale offer family subdivisions. Your housing dollar stretches far past what it buys in LA.
Summers run very hot, and winter brings valley fog. We time the drive and the unload around both. Tell your coordinator the part of town and the home type. We set the access plan before the truck leaves Los Angeles.

LA to Bakersfield Moving FAQs
1. How fast can you move me from LA to Bakersfield?
The route is only about 110 miles over the Grapevine. A dedicated truck almost always delivers the same day. A shared route can cost less if your dates are flexible. Your coordinator confirms the timing before pickup.
2. Why use a long-distance carrier for such a short move?
Even a short move across county lines is handled as a licensed carrier job. You get one crew, one written quote, and one coordinator. We run the I-5 and CA-99 corridor regularly, so scheduling is easy.
3. Does Grapevine weather ever slow the drive?
Sometimes. Wind and winter fog on the pass can call for a careful pace or a short hold for safety. We watch the conditions and time the drive around them. Your coordinator keeps you posted.
4. Will I get more house for my money in Bakersfield?
Almost certainly. Housing runs far below LA prices. Many movers step up to a larger home with a garage in the Southwest or Seven Oaks. That usually makes delivery simpler than a tight LA address.
5. What if my Bakersfield home is not ready yet?
We can store your belongings on the LA end. We deliver once your place is ready. With the short route, redelivery is quick, and the storage time is written into your quote.
