McAllen, TX → Port Angeles, WA · Cross-country move
About 2,400 road miles heading northwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $7,760–$11,540, delivery in 7–14 days, 357 carriers on the McAllen side and 11 in Port Angeles.
The route from McAllen, TX to Port Angeles, WA covers roughly 2,400 miles by road, a northwest-bound trip that falls into the cross-country move category for pricing purposes.
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 $7,760 to $11,540 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 42 hours (5 driving days).
On the McAllen side there are 357 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (213 of them authorized for interstate work), and 11 around Port Angeles (2 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 Port Angeles.
McAllen has a population of about 150,640 and Port Angeles about 20,000. The two cities have comparable density (2,283 and 1,864 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Washington is a higher-cost state than Texas, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 2,400 road miles (2,034 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 42 hours (5 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 Texas 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 $3,370 to $4,750 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,160 to $4,650. 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 McAllen–Port Angeles corridor.
