Kennewick, WA → Alexandria, VA · Cross-country move

Moving from Kennewick to Alexandria is a cross-country move of roughly 2,568 road miles, heading east from Washington to Virginia.
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 $8,300 to $12,350 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 44 hours (5 driving days).
On the Kennewick side there are 137 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (91 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1,203 around Alexandria (740 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 Alexandria.
Kennewick has a population of about 88,000 and Alexandria about 160,662. Alexandria is the denser city (10,702 people per square mile versus 2,944 in Kennewick), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Labor and living costs run lower in Virginia than in Washington, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home. Note that Virginia does collect a state income tax, unlike Washington, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 2,568 road miles (2,177 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 44 hours (5 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 Washington into Virginia 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 $3,540 to $5,000 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,310 to $4,870. 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 Kennewick–Alexandria corridor.
