St. George, UT → Los Angeles, CA · Regional long-distance move
About 406 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,450–$5,140, delivery in 1–3 days, 70 carriers on the St. George side and 2,866 in Los Angeles.
The route from St. George, UT to Los Angeles, CA covers roughly 406 miles by road, a southwest-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 $3,450 to $5,140 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 42 min.
On the St. George side there are 70 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (45 of them authorized for interstate work), and 2,866 around Los Angeles (1,210 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 Los Angeles.
St. George has a population of about 108,713 and Los Angeles about 3.9 million. Los Angeles is the denser city (8,304 people per square mile versus 1,215 in St. George), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. California is a higher-cost state than Utah, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 406 road miles (344 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 7 h 42 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 days after pickup. Carriers give a spread rather than a fixed date because long-distance trucks carry several shipments; a dedicated truck or expedited service shortens the window for an extra fee.
Yes. Crossing from Utah into California makes this an interstate move, so the carrier must hold active FMCSA operating authority (an MC number) in addition to its USDOT number. The company cards on this page flag which carriers are authorized for interstate work.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $570 to $800 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,380 to $2,030. Both save money versus a full-service crew but you do the loading, and container transit can take longer than a mover's delivery window.
Rates are highest in summer and around the last days of any month, when demand peaks. Mid-month, mid-week and winter dates are usually quoted below the standard rate. Booking four to eight weeks ahead gives you the widest choice of carriers on the St. George–Los Angeles corridor.
