Aberdeen, SD → Yonkers, NY · Cross-country move
About 1,501 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,360–$9,470, delivery in 5–10 days, 9 carriers on the Aberdeen side and 2,152 in Yonkers.
Moving from Aberdeen to Yonkers is a cross-country move of roughly 1,501 road miles, heading east from South Dakota to New York.
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 $6,360 to $9,470 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 5 to 10 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 26 hours (3 driving days).
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 2,152 around Yonkers (1,091 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 Yonkers.
Aberdeen has a population of about 28,000 and Yonkers about 212,603. Yonkers is the denser city (11,754 people per square mile versus 1,725 in Aberdeen), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. New York is a higher-cost state than South Dakota, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. Note that New York does collect a state income tax, unlike South Dakota, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 1,501 road miles (1,272 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 26 hours (3 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 5 to 10 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 New York 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 $2,140 to $3,020 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,360 to $3,470. 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–Yonkers corridor.
