Lake Havasu City, AZ → Kennewick, WA · Long-distance move
About 1,000 road miles heading north. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,020–$7,460, delivery in 2–5 days, 24 carriers on the Lake Havasu City side and 137 in Kennewick.
Moving from Lake Havasu City to Kennewick is a long-distance move of roughly 1,000 road miles, heading north from Arizona to Washington.
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 $5,020 to $7,460 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 17 h 57 min.
On the Lake Havasu City side there are 24 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (20 of them authorized for interstate work), and 137 around Kennewick (91 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 Kennewick.
Lake Havasu City has a population of about 58,000 and Kennewick about 88,000. Kennewick is the denser city (2,944 people per square mile versus 1,233 in Lake Havasu City), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Washington is a higher-cost state than Arizona, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. Washington levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 1,000 road miles (847 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 17 h 57 min.
Expect a delivery window of 2 to 5 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 Arizona 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 $1,480 to $2,090 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,910 to $2,810. 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 Lake Havasu City–Kennewick corridor.
