El Cajon sits about 165 miles southeast of Palmdale, so this is an in-state move that most movers classify as a regional long-distance move.
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 $2,720 to $4,040 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 2 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 3 h 33 min.
On the Palmdale side there are 129 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (66 of them authorized for interstate work), and 339 around El Cajon (105 interstate). For an in-state 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.
Palmdale has a population of about 161,845 and El Cajon about 101,755. El Cajon is the denser city (7,325 people per square mile versus 1,597 in Palmdale), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.
