The route from Richmond, CA to Palmdale, CA covers roughly 391 miles by road, a southeast-bound trip that falls into the regional 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 $3,740 to $5,560 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 7 h 27 min.
On the Richmond side there are 252 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (86 of them authorized for interstate work), and 129 around Palmdale (66 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 Palmdale.
Richmond has a population of about 114,861 and Palmdale about 161,845. Richmond is considerably denser (3,869 people per square mile versus 1,597), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.
