Reverse: Kennewick → Lawrence

Moving from Lawrence to Kennewick is a cross-country move of roughly 1,545 road miles, heading northwest from Kansas 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 $6,170 to $9,180 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 5 to 10 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 27 hours (4 driving days).

On the Lawrence side there are 17 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (14 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.

Lawrence has a population of about 95,000 and Kennewick about 88,000. The two cities have comparable density (2,772 and 2,944 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Washington is a higher-cost state than Kansas, 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.

Tips for this move

Compare a full-service van line against a container service; for a small household the container often wins.
Ask about consolidated versus dedicated truck options—dedicated is faster but costs more.
Read the FMCSA 'Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move' booklet the carrier must provide.
Ship the car separately if you plan to fly; auto transport is priced by the mile like household goods.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Lawrence to Kennewick?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,470 to $3,670 for a studio, $3,700 to $5,510 for a one-bedroom, $6,170 to $9,180 for a two-bedroom, $9,870 to $14,690 for a three-bedroom and $13,580 to $20,200 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Kennewick from Lawrence?

About 1,545 road miles (1,309 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 27 hours (4 driving days).

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 5 to 10 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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Kansas 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.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Lawrence to Kennewick?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $2,190 to $3,090 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,400 to $3,530. 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.

When is the least expensive time to book this move?

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 Lawrence–Kennewick corridor.
