Reverse: Ukiah → Newport News

The route from Newport News, VA to Ukiah, CA covers roughly 2,967 miles by road, a west-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 $9,410 to $13,990 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 51 hours (6 driving days).

On the Newport News side there are 168 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (89 of them authorized for interstate work), and 15 around Ukiah (3 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 Ukiah.

Newport News has a population of about 183,230 and Ukiah about 17,000. The two cities have comparable density (2,699 and 3,484 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. California is a higher-cost state than Virginia, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Newport News to Ukiah?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $3,760 to $5,600 for a studio, $5,640 to $8,400 for a one-bedroom, $9,410 to $13,990 for a two-bedroom, $15,050 to $22,390 for a three-bedroom and $20,690 to $30,790 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Ukiah from Newport News?

About 2,967 road miles (2,514 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 51 hours (6 driving days).

How long will the movers take to deliver?

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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Virginia into California 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 Newport News to Ukiah?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $4,100 to $5,790 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,670 to $5,390. 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 Newport News–Ukiah corridor.
