Malibu, CA → Wasilla, AK · Cross-country move
About 2,753 road miles heading northwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $9,610–$14,290, delivery in 7–14 days, 7 carriers on the Malibu side and 49 in Wasilla.
Moving from Malibu to Wasilla is a cross-country move of roughly 2,753 road miles, heading northwest from California to Alaska.
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 $9,610 to $14,290 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 48 hours (6 driving days).
On the Malibu side there are 7 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (2 of them authorized for interstate work), and 49 around Wasilla (6 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 Wasilla.
Malibu has a population of about 10,000 and Wasilla about 11,000. Wasilla is the denser city (730 people per square mile versus 537 in Malibu), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Alaska levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 2,753 road miles (2,333 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 48 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 Alaska 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 $3,880 to $5,480 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,480 to $5,110. 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 Malibu–Wasilla corridor.
