Family-Run, Not Brokered
The movers at your door are Dino’s own people, not a crew rounded up off an app that morning. Each mover clears a background check and trains up with the crew before laying a hand on your furniture.
- Background-checked, on our own payroll
- Used to early starts and long, hot valley days
- Your lead stays with the job start to finish, first box to last
Clean, Marked Trucks
Our five trucks carry the Dino’s Moving name and DOT number on the door. If a bare rental rolls up to your gate, it is not us.
- Company trucks with liftgates, kept in service
- Stocked with pads, dollies, straps, and shrink
- Ready for gated entries and long resort driveways
The Story Behind the Name
“I grew up out here in the valley and started Dino’s Moving in 2014 with one truck and a simple promise: an honest flat price, an early start to beat the heat, and my own crew on every job. No brokers, no surprises.”
We train our crews on what actually trips up a desert move, guard-gate check-ins, HOA move-in windows, 55+ community rules, long resort driveways, and July afternoons that top 115. We would rather earn a neighbor for life than chase one quick job.

Questions We Hear a Lot
How much will my move cost?
It depends on how much you have and the access, but local moves start at $145/hr for two movers and a truck, with an itemized written estimate before we lift a thing. Ask for a flat cap and the signed number is the most you pay. Long-distance is quoted by weight and miles.
How do you handle moving in the desert heat?
We start early, most summer jobs are loaded before the worst of the afternoon. The crew stays hydrated, we keep the truck shaded where we can, and we wrap heat-sensitive things like candles, electronics, and artwork so a 110-degree day does no harm.
My community is gated with an HOA. Can you deal with that?
All the time, it is most of the valley. Give us the gate and HOA details when you book and we handle the guard-gate list, the move-in window, and any COI or deposit the association wants, so nothing holds up the truck on the day.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Dino’s Moving carries California household-goods authority and full insurance, and every job rides with our own crew the whole way, no broker in the middle. Ask for the authority and coverage details and we will go over valuation before you commit.
I’m a seasonal resident. Can you help with a part-year move?
Absolutely. We move plenty of snowbirds in and out each season and work around your travel dates. Book early for the fall arrival and spring departure rushes, those weeks fill up fast out here.
Is a deposit required?
Only a small, refundable one to lock the date, and it lands right on your final total as a credit. Give us 48 hours to cancel and you get it back in full. It is all on paper the day you book.
How and when do I pay?
After the job is done, never before. We take all major cards plus check or cash, and you okay the final total on site before the crew heads out.
Is there anything you won’t move?
For safety and legal reasons we skip hazardous items, propane, paint, chemicals, ammo, plus perishables, houseplants, and pets. Flag anything oversized or high-value up front so we send the right crew and gear.
