Los Angeles, CA → Hillsboro, OR · Long-distance move
About 980 road miles heading north. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,330–$7,930, delivery in 2–5 days, 2,866 carriers on the Los Angeles side and 165 in Hillsboro.
Moving from Los Angeles to Hillsboro is a long-distance move of roughly 980 road miles, heading north from California to Oregon.
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 $5,330 to $7,930 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 36 min.
On the Los Angeles side there are 2,866 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (1,210 of them authorized for interstate work), and 165 around Hillsboro (95 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 Hillsboro.
Los Angeles has a population of about 3.9 million and Hillsboro about 111,126. Los Angeles is considerably denser (8,304 people per square mile versus 4,142), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Labor and living costs run lower in Oregon than in California, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

About 980 road miles (830 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 17 h 36 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 California into Oregon 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 $1,460 to $2,060 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,890 to $2,790. 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 Los Angeles–Hillsboro corridor.
