I’m in Chicago, but I grew up in the Bay Area and moved here a few years back for work. Honestly, relocating across states was more of a hassle than I expected, especially trying to keep everything organized and not lose my mind midway. I remember going through five different quotes trying to figure out how much the move would actually cost me, and it still wasn’t clear until the truck showed up.
I found this helpful eventually when I was looking for a better way to plan my move:
