01 Overview

One LA crew on your shipment, curb to curb

The day a family leaves Los Angeles for good — a job in the Bay Area, a fresh start in Denver, a place near family in Dallas — the part that goes sideways with most movers is the handoff. Your things get loaded, hauled to a terminal, dumped, reloaded onto whatever truck is headed your way, and rehandled by people who never met you. Pro Express doesn’t operate like that. Hold a USDOT and MC license, run your own equipment, staff your own movers — that’s us, an interstate carrier in the full sense, not a booking agent. Andre Wills runs most of our long hauls, and the team that wraps your home in Pasadena is the team that carries it inside in the new state.

Across LA County, Pro Express Moving handles premium moves on a single written flat rate, with nothing sprung on the invoice.

For the long haul we quote one door-to-door flat number, never the local meter — so the truck crawling through the Grapevine on the 5 isn’t costing you $209 an hour while it does. That figure comes from two inputs, your home’s size and the miles of road, and you get the whole band up front; $99 down secures your date and rolls into the final total.

The numbers scale cleanly with distance and load:

  • Shorter runs like San Diego (~120 mi) down the 5 and Las Vegas (~270 mi) up the 15 sit at the affordable end of the band
  • Mid-distance moves to the Bay Area, Sacramento and Phoenix land in the middle
  • Long cross-country hauls to Dallas and New York top the range, with a four-bedroom to NYC (~2,790 mi) reaching roughly $15,000–$21,000

Every shipment is inventoried, blanket-wrapped and shrink-wrapped before it leaves the curb, and released-value coverage at $0.60/lb comes standard, with full-value protection and up to $1,000,000 in cargo coverage per shipment available. We time departures around LA reality, too — a Santa Ana wind event kicking up over the Cajon Pass is a reason to roll early, not a reason to blow your delivery window — and we give you a delivery date you can actually plan a lease or a closing around. Get my free moving quote and we’ll map the route, the timing and the price the same day, with one crew accountable for the whole thing from the curb in LA to the door across the country.

What’s included

  • Your own dedicated Pro Express truck and our long-distance lead, Andre Wills, on the load — no shared freight, no terminal transfers, no rehandling
  • A written door-to-door flat-rate quote built from home size and road miles, not an hourly clock running while you sit in traffic on the 5
  • A full inventory plus blanket-wrap and shrink-wrap of every item before it leaves the LA curb
  • The same crew that loads in Los Angeles unloads at the destination, so your goods are touched by our people on both ends
  • Released-value coverage at $0.60/lb included, full-value protection available, and up to $1,000,000 in cargo coverage per shipment
  • USDOT and MC interstate authority on file, with a $99 deposit reserving the date and credited to the final balance

How we set the price

After a quick walkthrough or video estimate, we write up a single flat rate from the inventory you genuinely have — not from a clock ticking by the hour. Whatever the sheet reads is the entire price, with nothing tacked on afterward.

02 How we protect your move

Your things get handled like our own

Our truck rolls up already loaded with pads, film, and floor runners — ready to shield furniture, cover hardwood, and cushion the fragile pieces in LA’s Spanish-style bungalows and hillside homes.

Quilted pads

Before a single piece moves, dressers, tables, and headboards are wrapped and padded right where they stand.

Stretch film

Sealed against road dust and the LA heat, drawers stay shut and cushions stay clean the whole ride.

Floor & doorway guards

Hardwood, banisters, and trim come through clean because runners, rail wraps, and jamb pads go down before any lifting starts.

Built-to-fit crating

For mirrors, glass tops, framed art, and flat screens, we build crates sized to the piece — every corner covered.

Break-down & rebuild

Bed frames, tables, and oversized furniture get taken apart for transit, then reassembled once they reach the new place.

Straps, dollies & gear

Tight staircases, hillside switchbacks, and the heavy stuff all get the right tie-downs and equipment — we never cut a corner.

03 Why us

You hire the movers, not a middleman

Book Pro Express and our name goes on the contract, our truck pulls up to your door, and our own crew works the ramp. A broker signs none of that — it flips your job to whoever bids lowest, then steps out of the picture.

Pro Express Moving
  • Our own LA trucks and full-time, background-checked movers — no day labor
  • One flat rate in writing, locked — what you sign is what you settle, to the dollar
  • The same crew loads your old place and unloads the new one, start to finish
  • CPUC household-goods authority and USDOT/MC for interstate, fully insured
  • A Los Angeles office and one point of contact from the first call to the final box
What a broker does
  • Hands your job to whatever carrier comes in cheapest that week
  • Surprises you with fresh fees and a new number once move day arrives
  • Puts strangers you have never spoken to in charge of loading your home
  • Keeps you in the dark about who actually owns the liability
  • Drops a call center between you and whoever ends up doing the lifting

What Los Angeles customers tell us about it

★★★★★

“The team, Marcus, Hector, and Andre were AWESOME! They were on time, efficient, and they were able to move a new 300lb bath vanity up 4 flights of stairs. All this was done with the utmost of care. The team was fun, and got the job done. We really appreciate it.”

Questions we hear about this service

Will my stuff ride on a shared truck with other people's loads?
No. A long-distance Pro Express move goes on our truck with our crew, start to finish. We don't run it through a freight terminal or pile it in with strangers' boxes — that's how things get crushed, lost or delayed. What we load in LA is exactly what we carry into your new home.
How does long-distance pricing compare to a local move?
It's a completely different model. Local runs on the $149/hr or $209/hr clock; long-distance is a door-to-door flat rate set by home size and mileage. A studio to San Diego (~120 mi) runs roughly $1,100–$1,750, while a four-bedroom to Seattle (~1,135 mi) lands around $10,500–$14,500. You see the full band before booking, and a $99 deposit holds it.
Which long-distance runs do you do most out of LA?
The I-5 corridor is our bread and butter — San Diego, the Bay Area, Sacramento, Portland, Seattle. Las Vegas up the 15 and Phoenix across the 10 are steady, and we run cross-country to Dallas and New York several times a season. If it's a major U.S. metro, we've likely loaded a Pro Express truck headed there.
