Long Distance Movers in Los Angeles — Direct Carrier (USDOT #2022745)
Cross Country Moving is a direct interstate carrier headquartered at 18425 Burbank Blvd, Tarzana, CA 91356. We move households and small businesses from Los Angeles and Greater LA to every state in the continental U.S. — without brokers, without subcontractors, and without surprise charges at delivery.
We operate a fleet of company-owned semis and trailers. We employ our own moving crews. The team that arrives at your Los Angeles door to load is the same team that arrives at your destination to unload. That model — direct carrier, not broker — is rare in this industry, and it’s the single biggest reason customers choose us over the broker-heavy alternative.
We’ve been doing this since 2010. Our crews have over 30 years of combined experience in interstate relocation, our trucks are fully insured (USDOT #2022745, MC #711417), and every binding quote we issue holds at the destination scale.

Popular Routes from Los Angeles
According to 2024 Census Bureau interstate migration data, California-to-Texas is the largest state-to-state move in the country — and Los Angeles is the largest origin metro within that flow. Pacific Northwest (Seattle, Portland), Florida (Miami, Tampa, Orlando), New York City, and the Mountain West (Phoenix, Denver, Las Vegas) round out the top destination corridors for LA movers.
We’ve built dedicated weekly route truck schedules to all of these corridors. That means shorter transit times, fewer transfers, and lower prices than companies that pool your shipment with unrelated loads.
Why Choose Cross Country Moving for Your Los Angeles Long Distance Move
Direct interstate carrier — not a broker. Brokers collect a deposit, then auction your shipment to whichever subcontractor bids lowest. Cross Country Moving operates its own fleet and employs its own crews. One company, one truck, one team — origin to destination.
USDOT #2022745 and MC #711417. Both numbers are FMCSA-issued and currently active. Verify license status at the FMCSA SAFER system (safer.fmcsa.dot.gov).
Binding quotes after survey. We do a free virtual or in-home survey. The price we quote is binding — no weight reweighs, no surprise charges.
LA-based crews who know LA. Our Tarzana team handles LA-specific moves every day. We know which Beverly Hills streets won’t fit a 53′ semi, which Hollywood Hills addresses need a shuttle, which downtown high-rises require freight elevator scheduling.

Cross Country Movers You Can Trust
When California families search for cross country movers, they are looking for two things: a licensed interstate carrier (not a broker) and transparent, inventory-based pricing. Cross Country Moving LLC is a fully licensed FMCSA household-goods carrier operating under USDOT #2022745 and MC #711417 — one of the few cross country movers in California that owns its own trucks, employs its own crews, and quotes binding flat-rate pricing after a detailed home survey.
Unlike broker-style cross country movers that hand your job off to the lowest-bidding sub-carrier, we are the company that actually shows up, loads the truck, drives it, and delivers it. That accountability is the difference between a stress-free long-distance relocation and the horror stories you read online. Every quote, every crew, every truck — one company, one chain of custody, start to finish.
