Moving from Meridian to Monterey is a long-distance move of roughly 666 road miles, heading southwest from Idaho to California.
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 $4,270 to $6,350 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 11 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 12 around Monterey (4 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 Monterey.
Meridian has a population of about 142,988 and Monterey about 30,000. The two cities have comparable density (3,351 and 3,495 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. California is a higher-cost state than Idaho, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.
