Los Angeles, CA → White Plains, NY · Cross-country move
About 2,911 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $9,990–$14,870, delivery in 7–14 days, 2,866 carriers on the Los Angeles side and 369 in White Plains.
Moving from Los Angeles to White Plains is a cross-country move of roughly 2,911 road miles, heading northeast from California to New York.
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 $9,990 to $14,870 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 50 hours (6 driving days).
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 369 around White Plains (163 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 White Plains.
Los Angeles has a population of about 3.9 million and White Plains about 60,000. Los Angeles is considerably denser (8,304 people per square mile versus 6,117), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

About 2,911 road miles (2,467 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 50 hours (6 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 California into New York 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 $4,040 to $5,710 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,620 to $5,320. 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–White Plains corridor.
