Why Pasadena Residents Trust Cross Country Moving LLC
Pasadena is a premium moving market. The city’s mix of Caltech faculty, medical professionals from Huntington Hospital, Rose Bowl-adjacent families, and San Gabriel Valley residents represents one of Southern California’s highest concentrations of high-value household moves. Old Pasadena Craftsman homes, the historic estates in San Rafael Hills, and the modern condos near the Gold Line all have very different moving logistics — and Cross Country Moving LLC handles all of them. Our Tarzana-based team is about 20 miles from Pasadena via the 210, and we service the area with full crews regularly.
Academic & Research Relocation Specialists
Caltech, JPL, City of Hope, and Huntington Hospital generate significant relocation volume. We work with academic move packages, lab equipment transport, and institutional direct billing regularly.
Binding Flat-Rate Pricing
No surprises at delivery. Your quote is your final price, locked in writing before we arrive. This matters especially for Pasadena’s complex multi-story and hillside homes.
Historic Home Expertise
Pasadena has some of Southern California’s most precious historic properties. We know how to navigate Craftsman doorways, hardwood floors, and tight stairwells without damage.
USDOT Licensed Interstate Carrier
License USDOT 2022745, MC 711417. Legal for all 48 states. Many discount “movers” in Pasadena operate without proper federal licensing — a risk you shouldn’t take.
California to East Coast Route Network
Pasadena residents frequently relocate to Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Raleigh for academic and tech positions. We have dedicated East Coast routes from Southern California.
White-Glove Service Available
Full pack, specialty crating for art and antiques, custom blanket-wrapping for fine furniture. Pasadena’s high-value homes deserve a higher standard of care.

What Pasadena Customers Say
“Moving from Pasadena to Boston after my postdoc at Caltech. CCML handled a 2-bedroom apartment, a significant amount of lab equipment (cleared through my department), and several large pieces of original art. Everything arrived perfectly. The binding quote made budgeting easy — no surprises on a grad-student income.”
“Our home in Madison Heights was built in 1928. Narrow staircase, original hardwood floors, some antique furniture. I was nervous. The CCML crew treated everything like it was their own. They moved our whole house to Scottsdale and nothing was scratched. Worth every dollar.”
“We’ve moved four times in 20 years and this was hands-down the best experience. Pasadena to Dallas. Three bedroom, full pack service. The flat-rate guarantee is real — I called to add a few items after signing and they re-quoted immediately. Moved us on time, delivered on time.”

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.
