Ketchikan, AK → El Paso, TX · Cross-country move
About 2,400 road miles heading southeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $7,940–$11,810, delivery in 7–14 days, 12 carriers on the Ketchikan side and 360 in El Paso.
El Paso sits about 2,400 miles southeast of Ketchikan, which makes this an interstate relocation from Alaska to Texas that most movers classify as a cross-country move.
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 $7,940 to $11,810 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 42 hours (5 driving days).
On the Ketchikan side there are 12 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (1 of them authorized for interstate work), and 360 around El Paso (263 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 El Paso.
Ketchikan has a population of about 8,000 and El Paso about 683,012. The two cities have comparable density (2,147 and 2,627 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Labor and living costs run lower in Texas than in Alaska, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $3,180 to $4,720 for a studio, $4,760 to $7,090 for a one-bedroom, $7,940 to $11,810 for a two-bedroom, $12,700 to $18,900 for a three-bedroom and $17,470 to $25,990 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.
About 2,400 road miles (2,034 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 42 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 Alaska into Texas 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 $3,370 to $4,750 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,160 to $4,650. 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 Ketchikan–El Paso corridor.
