California Double Drive Time


The Double Drive Time Law (DDT), passed by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), requires California based moving companies to double the amount of time it takes to get from the origin point to the destination point at the agreed upon hourly rate. This law applies to ALL moving companies in the state of California.

The CPUC created the Double Drive Time Law to keep moving companies honest and protect the consumer.


Yes, make no mistake about what you’ve just read. However, before getting worked up at the thought of paying double for anything, let’s actually get into the details of why and how Double Drive Time is to your benefit.
