Anchorage, AK → Fort Worth, TX · Cross-country move
About 3,578 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $9,970–$14,830, delivery in 7–14 days, 123 carriers on the Anchorage side and 2,811 in Fort Worth.
The route from Anchorage, AK to Fort Worth, TX covers roughly 3,578 miles by road, a east-bound trip that falls into the cross-country 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 $9,970 to $14,830 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 7 to 14 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 62 hours (7 driving days).
On the Anchorage side there are 123 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (34 of them authorized for interstate work), and 2,811 around Fort Worth (1,207 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 Fort Worth.
Anchorage has a population of about 287,155 and Fort Worth about 1 million. Fort Worth is the denser city (2,646 people per square mile versus 171 in Anchorage), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Labor and living costs run lower in Texas than in Alaska, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

About 3,578 road miles (3,032 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 62 hours (7 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 7 to 14 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 Alaska into Texas 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 $4,880 to $6,880 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $4,210 to $6,200. 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 Anchorage–Fort Worth corridor.
