Santa Cruz sits about 2,900 miles west of Annapolis, which makes this an interstate relocation from Maryland to California 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 $9,490 to $14,110 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 50 hours (6 driving days).
On the Annapolis side there are 199 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (100 of them authorized for interstate work), and 27 around Santa Cruz (6 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 Santa Cruz.
Annapolis has a population of about 41,000 and Santa Cruz about 62,000. The two cities have comparable density (5,664 and 4,942 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. California is a higher-cost state than Maryland, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.
