Reverse: Wasilla → Great Falls

The route from Great Falls, MT to Wasilla, AK covers roughly 2,093 miles by road, a northwest-bound trip that falls into the cross-country move category for pricing purposes.

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 $7,480 to $11,130 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 36 hours (5 driving days).

On the Great Falls side there are 28 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (21 of them authorized for interstate work), and 49 around Wasilla (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 Wasilla.

Great Falls has a population of about 60,000 and Wasilla about 11,000. Great Falls is considerably denser (2,613 people per square mile versus 730), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Alaska is a higher-cost state than Montana, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. Alaska levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Great Falls to Wasilla?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,990 to $4,450 for a studio, $4,490 to $6,680 for a one-bedroom, $7,480 to $11,130 for a two-bedroom, $11,970 to $17,800 for a three-bedroom and $16,450 to $24,480 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Wasilla from Great Falls?

About 2,093 road miles (1,774 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 36 hours (5 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 Montana into Alaska 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 Great Falls to Wasilla?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $2,900 to $4,100 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,890 to $4,250. 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 Great Falls–Wasilla corridor.
