Moving Cost CalculatorBy State

Interstate moves are priced on driving distance and the weight of your shipment, which we approximate from home size. A two bedroom home moving 500 miles runs about $2,250 – $3,000; the same home moving 1,500 miles runs about $6,750 – $9,000. A three bedroom house crossing the country, roughly 2,500 miles, comes to about $12,938 – $17,250. Packing, storage and specialty items sit on top of those figures.

Mostly through distance rather than state lines. What the states themselves change is the local end of the job — labour rates, parking and permit rules, building access and how far the crew has to carry. Crossing a state border also makes the move federally regulated, so the carrier needs active USDOT authority, and you are entitled to a written estimate and a published complaint record.

For pricing, anything under about 100 miles is billed by the hour rather than by weight and mileage, even if it crosses a state line. For regulation, any move that crosses a state line is interstate and falls under the FMCSA regardless of distance. A 40 mile move across a border is therefore priced like a local move but regulated like a long distance one.

Mid-week, mid-month, between October and April. Summer is the industry’s peak season, and demand sets the price: a carrier quoting a summer Saturday has less room to negotiate than one quoting a Tuesday in February.
