Port Angeles, WA → Tampa, FL · Cross-country move
About 3,050 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $9,020–$13,410, delivery in 7–14 days, 11 carriers on the Port Angeles side and 1,059 in Tampa.
Tampa sits about 3,050 miles east of Port Angeles, which makes this an interstate relocation from Washington to Florida that most movers classify as a cross-country move.
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 $9,020 to $13,410 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 53 hours (6 driving days).
On the Port Angeles side there are 11 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (2 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1,059 around Tampa (368 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 Tampa.
Port Angeles has a population of about 20,000 and Tampa about 413,554. Tampa is the denser city (3,377 people per square mile versus 1,864 in Port Angeles), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Labor and living costs run lower in Florida than in Washington, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

About 3,050 road miles (2,585 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 53 hours (6 driving days).
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.
Yes. Crossing from Washington into Florida 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 $4,180 to $5,910 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,740 to $5,500. 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 Port Angeles–Tampa corridor.
