The route from Farmington, NM to El Cajon, CA covers roughly 670 miles by road, a southwest-bound trip that falls into the long-distance move category for pricing purposes.
At this distance carriers price by shipment weight and mileage rather than by the hour. A two-bedroom home (around 5,000 lb of goods) typically costs $4,170 to $6,200 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 12 h 15 min.
On the Farmington side there are 18 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (10 of them authorized for interstate work), and 339 around El Cajon (105 interstate). For an interstate move you can book from either end; movers near the origin handle loading and are usually the better first call, while a destination-side company can be useful if you need storage or delivery-day help in El Cajon.
Farmington has a population of about 46,000 and El Cajon about 101,755. El Cajon is the denser city (7,325 people per square mile versus 1,353 in Farmington), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. California is a higher-cost state than New Mexico, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.
