The route from Meridian, ID to Fullerton, CA covers roughly 799 miles by road, a south-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 $4,640 to $6,900 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 14 h 29 min.
On the Meridian side there are 176 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (130 of them authorized for interstate work), and 846 around Fullerton (361 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 Fullerton.
Meridian has a population of about 142,988 and Fullerton about 138,675. Fullerton is the denser city (6,411 people per square mile versus 3,351 in Meridian), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. California is a higher-cost state than Idaho, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.
