The route from Pullman, WA to Billings, MT covers roughly 491 miles by road, a east-bound trip that falls into the regional 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 $3,600 to $5,360 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 9 h 10 min.

On the Pullman side there are 17 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (13 of them authorized for interstate work), and 33 around Billings (28 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 Billings.

Pullman has a population of about 32,000 and Billings about 121,239. The two cities have comparable density (2,958 and 2,614 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Labor and living costs run lower in Montana than in Washington, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home. Note that Montana does collect a state income tax, unlike Washington, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Pullman to Billings?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,440 to $2,140 for a studio, $2,160 to $3,210 for a one-bedroom, $3,600 to $5,360 for a two-bedroom, $5,760 to $8,570 for a three-bedroom and $7,920 to $11,790 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Billings from Pullman?

About 491 road miles (416 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 9 h 10 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 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 Washington into Montana 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 Pullman to Billings?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $800 to $1,140 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,460 to $2,140. 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 Pullman–Billings corridor.
