Aberdeen, SD → Kennewick, WA · Long-distance move
About 1,175 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,310–$7,900, delivery in 3–7 days, 9 carriers on the Aberdeen side and 137 in Kennewick.
The route from Aberdeen, SD to Kennewick, WA covers roughly 1,175 miles by road, a west-bound trip that falls into the long-distance move category for pricing purposes.
At this distance carriers price by shipment weight and mileage rather than by the hour. A two-bedroom home (around 5,000 lb of goods) typically costs $5,310 to $7,900 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 20 h 58 min.
On the Aberdeen side there are 9 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (9 of them authorized for interstate work), and 137 around Kennewick (91 interstate). For an interstate move you can book from either end; movers near the origin handle loading and are usually the better first call, while a destination-side company can be useful if you need storage or delivery-day help in Kennewick.
Aberdeen has a population of about 28,000 and Kennewick about 88,000. Kennewick is the denser city (2,944 people per square mile versus 1,725 in Aberdeen), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Washington is a higher-cost state than South Dakota, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 1,175 road miles (995 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 20 h 58 min.
Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 days after pickup. Carriers give a spread rather than a fixed date because long-distance trucks carry several shipments; a dedicated truck or expedited service shortens the window for an extra fee.
Yes. Crossing from South Dakota into Washington makes this an interstate move, so the carrier must hold active FMCSA operating authority (an MC number) in addition to its USDOT number. The company cards on this page flag which carriers are authorized for interstate work.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,660 to $2,340 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,070 to $3,040. Both save money versus a full-service crew but you do the loading, and container transit can take longer than a mover's delivery window.
Rates are highest in summer and around the last days of any month, when demand peaks. Mid-month, mid-week and winter dates are usually quoted below the standard rate. Booking four to eight weeks ahead gives you the widest choice of carriers on the Aberdeen–Kennewick corridor.
