Interstate Moving Routes: What Each One Actually Costs
Cost on a long-distance move is driven by shipment weight and distance, not bedroom count. These guides break down the corridors we run most often, with the mileage, realistic delivery spread, and the seasonal swings that move the price.

Ranges cover a typical two to three bedroom household and assume standard access at both ends. Stairs, long carries, shuttle service, and full-value protection are priced separately. Every quote we issue is written and itemized.
Why the same route quotes differently
Two households moving the same corridor in the same week can see very different numbers, and the reasons are consistent. Weight or volume is the largest single factor. Season is the next: June through August is peak and prices reflect it. Access at both ends comes third, and it is the one most often missed at quote time, since a building with no elevator or a street a trailer cannot enter adds real labor.
Direction matters too. Corridors with heavy one-way demand, such as the Northeast into Florida, run cheaper in the less popular direction because carriers would otherwise return with empty trailers. Our moving costs guide works through each factor in detail.
