Reverse: Yakima → Moreno Valley

The route from Moreno Valley, CA to Yakima, WA covers roughly 1,053 miles by road, a north-bound trip that falls into the long-distance 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 $5,710 to $8,490 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 18 h 51 min.

On the Moreno Valley side there are 861 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (478 of them authorized for interstate work), and 60 around Yakima (34 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 Yakima.

Moreno Valley has a population of about 214,263 and Yakima about 98,000. The two cities have comparable density (4,067 and 3,481 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Labor and living costs run lower in Washington than in California, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home. Washington levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

Tips for this move

Ask how the delivery window is calculated and what the delay compensation is.
Declutter first: long-haul pricing is by weight, so every hundred pounds you sell or donate saves money.
Check whether a shuttle truck is needed in Yakima if a 53-foot trailer cannot reach your street.
Keep vehicle titles, passports and prescriptions with you; movers cannot carry some items at all.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Moreno Valley to Yakima?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,280 to $3,400 for a studio, $3,420 to $5,090 for a one-bedroom, $5,710 to $8,490 for a two-bedroom, $9,130 to $13,580 for a three-bedroom and $12,550 to $18,670 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Yakima from Moreno Valley?

About 1,053 road miles (893 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 18 h 51 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from California 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.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Moreno Valley to Yakima?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,530 to $2,160 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,960 to $2,880. 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.

When is the least expensive time to book this move?

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 Moreno Valley–Yakima corridor.
