Moving from Pittsburgh to Kennewick is a cross-country move of roughly 2,347 road miles, heading northwest from Pennsylvania to Washington.

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 $7,740 to $11,520 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 41 hours (5 driving days).

On the Pittsburgh side there are 450 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (241 of them authorized for interstate work), and 137 around Kennewick (91 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 Kennewick.

Pittsburgh has a population of about 307,632 and Kennewick about 88,000. Pittsburgh is considerably denser (5,469 people per square mile versus 2,944), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Washington is a higher-cost state than Pennsylvania, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. Washington levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

Tips for this move

Read the FMCSA 'Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move' booklet the carrier must provide.
Ship the car separately if you plan to fly; auto transport is priced by the mile like household goods.
Confirm which items the mover will not carry (plants, perishables, propane, some batteries).
Expect a delivery spread of one to two weeks; plan temporary housing in Kennewick accordingly.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Pittsburgh to Kennewick?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $3,100 to $4,610 for a studio, $4,640 to $6,910 for a one-bedroom, $7,740 to $11,520 for a two-bedroom, $12,380 to $18,420 for a three-bedroom and $17,030 to $25,330 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Kennewick from Pittsburgh?

About 2,347 road miles (1,989 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 41 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 Pennsylvania 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 Pittsburgh to Kennewick?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $3,310 to $4,680 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,110 to $4,580. 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 Pittsburgh–Kennewick corridor.
