Juneau, AK → Mobile, AL · Cross-country move
About 3,404 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $9,310–$13,850, delivery in 7–14 days, 7 carriers on the Juneau side and 168 in Mobile.
Moving from Juneau to Mobile is a cross-country move of roughly 3,404 road miles, heading east from Alaska to Alabama.
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 $9,310 to $13,850 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 59 hours (7 driving days).
On the Juneau side there are 7 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (1 of them authorized for interstate work), and 168 around Mobile (103 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 Mobile.
Juneau has a population of about 32,000 and Mobile about 200,824. Mobile is the denser city (1,341 people per square mile versus 12 in Juneau), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Labor and living costs run lower in Alabama than in Alaska, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home. Note that Alabama does collect a state income tax, unlike Alaska, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $3,720 to $5,540 for a studio, $5,590 to $8,310 for a one-bedroom, $9,310 to $13,850 for a two-bedroom, $14,900 to $22,170 for a three-bedroom and $20,490 to $30,480 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.
About 3,404 road miles (2,884 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 59 hours (7 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 Alaska into Alabama 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 $4,700 to $6,630 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $4,060 to $5,970. 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 Juneau–Mobile corridor.
