Reverse: Davenport → Bellingham

Moving from Bellingham to Davenport is a cross-country move of roughly 1,908 road miles, heading east from Washington to Iowa.

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 $6,770 to $10,070 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 33 hours (4 driving days).

On the Bellingham side there are 97 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (50 of them authorized for interstate work), and 98 around Davenport (78 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 Davenport.

Bellingham has a population of about 95,000 and Davenport about 100,358. Bellingham is considerably denser (3,244 people per square mile versus 1,594), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Labor and living costs run lower in Iowa than in Washington, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home. Note that Iowa does collect a state income tax, unlike Washington, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Bellingham to Davenport?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,710 to $4,030 for a studio, $4,060 to $6,040 for a one-bedroom, $6,770 to $10,070 for a two-bedroom, $10,830 to $16,110 for a three-bedroom and $14,890 to $22,150 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Davenport from Bellingham?

About 1,908 road miles (1,617 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 33 hours (4 driving days).

How long will the movers take to deliver?

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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Washington into Iowa 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.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Bellingham to Davenport?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $2,710 to $3,830 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,720 to $4,000. 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.

When is the least expensive time to book this move?

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 Bellingham–Davenport corridor.
