Reverse: High Point → Palm Springs

Moving from Palm Springs to High Point is a cross-country move of roughly 2,436 road miles, heading east from California to North Carolina.

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 $8,150 to $12,120 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 Palm Springs side there are 74 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (33 of them authorized for interstate work), and 274 around High Point (195 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 High Point.

Palm Springs has a population of about 45,000 and High Point about 120,571. High Point is the denser city (2,022 people per square mile versus 471 in Palm Springs), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Labor and living costs run lower in North Carolina than in California, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Palm Springs to High Point?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $3,260 to $4,850 for a studio, $4,890 to $7,270 for a one-bedroom, $8,150 to $12,120 for a two-bedroom, $13,040 to $19,400 for a three-bedroom and $17,930 to $26,670 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is High Point from Palm Springs?

About 2,436 road miles (2,064 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 42 hours (5 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 California into North Carolina 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 Palm Springs to High Point?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $3,400 to $4,800 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,190 to $4,700. 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 Palm Springs–High Point corridor.
