Discount Prices for Outbound CA Moves

Moving out of California

When a customer asks why their MoveBuilder or U-Pack  price is so much lower than estimates from other moving companies— like almost too-good-to-be-true lower— my guess is that it's an outbound California move. 

I've been told that inventory and positioning are the main reasons these moves are expensive for so many California moving companies and truck rental services.  Most have more trucks moving out than coming in, so if it's a rental truck, their inventory leaves the state and doesn't come back.  If it's a mover, they're often forced to run empties, or partial shipments back to California. The result? Higher prices for outbound CA moves to cover the cost.

Both MoveBuilder and U-Pack use ABF Freight System, Inc. as their premier transportation provider. And, since ABF is a national commercial carrier, shipments are constantly moving into and out of California.  Although MoveBuilder and U-Pack shipments are never co-mingled with other household goods moves, if there is space left in the moving trailer after the household goods are loaded, the remaining trailer space is filled with commercial goods going in the same direction. A bulkhead wall simply separates your household goods from the commercial goods.  That's how MoveBuilder and U-Pack can offer discount moving prices for CA moves.
