Fairfield, CA → Pullman, WA · Long-distance move
About 750 road miles heading north. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,800–$7,150, delivery in 2–5 days, 112 carriers on the Fairfield side and 17 in Pullman.
Moving from Fairfield to Pullman is a long-distance move of roughly 750 road miles, heading north from California to Washington.
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 $4,800 to $7,150 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 13 h 38 min.
On the Fairfield side there are 112 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (39 of them authorized for interstate work), and 17 around Pullman (13 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 Pullman.
Fairfield has a population of about 122,489 and Pullman about 32,000. The two cities have comparable density (2,882 and 2,958 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Labor and living costs run lower in Washington than in California, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home. Washington levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 750 road miles (635 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 13 h 38 min.
Expect a delivery window of 2 to 5 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 California into Washington 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 $1,070 to $1,510 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,690 to $2,480. 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 Fairfield–Pullman corridor.
