Anchorage, AK → Palm Bay, FL · Cross-country move
About 4,551 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $11,850–$17,640, delivery in 7–14 days, 123 carriers on the Anchorage side and 105 in Palm Bay.
Moving from Anchorage to Palm Bay is a cross-country move of roughly 4,551 road miles, heading east from Alaska to Florida.
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 $11,850 to $17,640 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 79 hours (9 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 105 around Palm Bay (46 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 Palm Bay.
Anchorage has a population of about 287,155 and Palm Bay about 148,092. Palm Bay is the denser city (1,386 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 Florida than in Alaska, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

About 4,551 road miles (3,857 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 79 hours (9 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 Florida 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 $6,330 to $8,930 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $5,080 to $7,470. 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 Anchorage–Palm Bay corridor.
