Memphis, TN → Pullman, WA · Cross-country move
About 1,911 road miles heading northwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,840–$10,170, delivery in 5–10 days, 534 carriers on the Memphis side and 17 in Pullman.
The route from Memphis, TN to Pullman, WA covers roughly 1,911 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 $6,840 to $10,170 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 33 hours (4 driving days).
On the Memphis side there are 534 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (397 of them authorized for interstate work), and 17 around Pullman (13 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 Pullman.
Memphis has a population of about 609,647 and Pullman about 32,000. Pullman is the denser city (2,958 people per square mile versus 2,132 in Memphis), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Washington is a higher-cost state than Tennessee, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 1,911 road miles (1,620 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 33 hours (4 driving days).
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.
Yes. Crossing from Tennessee 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 $2,710 to $3,830 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,730 to $4,010. 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 Memphis–Pullman corridor.
