Anchorage, AK → Yonkers, NY · Cross-country move
About 3,957 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $11,790–$17,540, delivery in 7–14 days, 123 carriers on the Anchorage side and 2,152 in Yonkers.
Yonkers sits about 3,957 miles east of Anchorage, which makes this an interstate relocation from Alaska to New York that most movers classify as a cross-country move.
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 $11,790 to $17,540 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 68 hours (8 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 2,152 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.
Anchorage has a population of about 287,155 and Yonkers about 212,603. Yonkers is the denser city (11,754 people per square mile versus 171 in Anchorage), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Note that New York does collect a state income tax, unlike Alaska, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 3,957 road miles (3,353 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 68 hours (8 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 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 $5,420 to $7,650 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $4,550 to $6,690. 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–Yonkers corridor.
