I’m Colton Reyes, and San Francisco is our longest regular run at about 750 miles — I-40 west to the California line, then north on US-101 up the coast. It’s a genuine multi-day haul, so we quote it at 2–3 days, with the flat rate written down before we load a single box.
| Home size | Flat-rate band | Typical transit window |
|---|---|---|
| 1-bedroom | $3,600–5,050 | 2–3 days |
| 2-bedroom | $5,750–8,100 | 2–3 days |
| 3-bedroom | $8,450–11,850 | 2–3 days |
| 4-bedroom+ | $12,400–17,400 | 2–3 days |
A run this long means real planning on both ends — Bay Area street access and parking permits often need lead time, so we ask about pickup and delivery addresses early rather than showing up and guessing. We carry up to $1,000,000 in cargo coverage per shipment on our longest hauls, and we explain the released-value and full-value options plainly before you book.
Reuben Castillo runs most of our California-bound long-hauls and knows how to stage a three-day trip so the truck isn’t sitting loaded overnight longer than it has to. Compare with the Los Angeles route, see long-distance moving pricing, or browse the routes page. Back to home.
