Jacksonville, FL → Kirkland, WA · Cross-country move
About 2,888 road miles heading northwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $8,740–$13,000, delivery in 7–14 days, 745 carriers on the Jacksonville side and 377 in Kirkland.
The route from Jacksonville, FL to Kirkland, WA covers roughly 2,888 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 $8,740 to $13,000 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 Jacksonville side there are 745 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (398 of them authorized for interstate work), and 377 around Kirkland (129 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 Kirkland.
Jacksonville has a population of about 1 million and Kirkland about 95,000. Kirkland is the denser city (5,177 people per square mile versus 1,271 in Jacksonville), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Washington is a higher-cost state than Florida, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 2,888 road miles (2,447 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 50 hours (6 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 Florida 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 $4,020 to $5,670 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,600 to $5,290. 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 Jacksonville–Kirkland corridor.
