The FMCSA motor carrier census lists 65 household goods registrants whose physical address is in Riverside, CA, and 17 of those are classified by FMCSA as interstate operations.

We do not yet hold a company profile documented as based in Riverside. The companies below are headquartered elsewhere in California, shown separately from movers that publish nationwide service.

The counties receiving the most households from Riverside County were San Bernardino County (9,520 returns), Los Angeles County (6,767 returns) and Orange County (5,376 returns).
Arrivals came mainly from Los Angeles County (11,161 returns), San Bernardino County (11,141 returns) and Orange County (8,367 returns).

The FMCSA motor carrier census lists 65 registrants carrying household goods whose physical address is in Riverside, and 17 of those are classified by FMCSA as interstate operations. That figure counts companies whose federal registration lists an address in Riverside. It is not the number of companies that will serve a move there: a mover registered in a neighbouring city can take the job, and a company registered in Riverside may not.

12 companies with a Riverside address on their federal registration hold a granted household goods authority from the FMCSA, and 5 of those identify as a moving business in their legal or trade name. The 5 listed below are the ones registered with the agency longest, ordered by the federal registration date, earliest first. Registration age is the agency's own record. It is not a ranking, it is not a quality judgement and it is not a recommendation.
102 active registrants in Riverside tick household goods among their cargo types on the census form, and 54 of those carry any authority row at all. The cargo tick box is filled in by the registrant, so this list uses the agency grant instead, then sets aside general freight, trucking, logistics and courier registrants that hold the authority without presenting themselves as household movers. It is not every mover serving Riverside: a company based elsewhere may serve the city, and a registered address is not a service area.

Data as of 2026-08-15 from the FMCSA company census, with authority status as of 2026-08-16. The query behind this list. Information provided by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
No. Federal registration and California authorisation are separate. The list above shows the federal record only, and we have not verified whether any company listed holds a California licence or permit.
A mover operating inside California needs the Household Movers (HHM) permit, commonly called a Cal-T number from the Bureau of Household Goods and Services. Its rates sit in maximum Rate Tariff 4.

Peak demand across California runs May–September. Dates outside that window, and dates away from the last and first few days of any month, are where carriers have spare capacity — and spare capacity is what makes a crew negotiable on price.
We do not publish a percentage saving for moving off-peak in Riverside. We hold no month-by-month booking price data for this city, and a discount figure taken from a national average would not describe this market. What we can say is structural, and it holds in every market:
The only reliable way to price a specific date is to put the same date in front of several licensed carriers and compare written estimates. Ask each one what the same move costs two weeks earlier or later — the gap between those two numbers is your real off-peak saving in Riverside, measured on your move rather than on an average.
A tip is never part of a written estimate and never part of a binding price. It is discretionary, it is paid per mover rather than per crew, and it is handed to each mover directly at the end of the job rather than to the foreman to divide. Our working guideline scales with hours rather than with the value of the shipment, because that is how moving labour is actually priced:
These are a BestMovers.info editorial guideline, not a survey result. We hold no tipping survey for Riverside and no federal record covers gratuities, so nothing here is a local figure. Read the full tipping guide for stairs, long carries, storage and interstate deliveries, where the crew that loads is not the crew that unloads.
Free boxes come from businesses that receive stock in cartons and throw the cartons away, and from households that finished moving last week. The sources are the same in every city, including Riverside:
Ask in the morning, when the overnight delivery has just been unpacked and the cartons have not yet been flattened. Skip anything damp, greasy or previously used for produce that leaked. The free boxes guide covers how many you need by home size — those counts are BestMovers.info planning estimates rather than measured figures — and which boxes are worth buying rather than scavenging.
