Reverse: Lawrence → Pullman

The route from Pullman, WA to Lawrence, KS covers roughly 1,448 miles by road, a east-bound trip that falls into the 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 $5,960 to $8,870 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 25 hours (3 driving days).

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 17 around Lawrence (14 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 Lawrence.

Pullman has a population of about 32,000 and Lawrence about 95,000. The two cities have comparable density (2,958 and 2,772 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Labor and living costs run lower in Kansas than in Washington, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home. Note that Kansas 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 Lawrence?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,390 to $3,550 for a studio, $3,580 to $5,320 for a one-bedroom, $5,960 to $8,870 for a two-bedroom, $9,540 to $14,200 for a three-bedroom and $13,120 to $19,520 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Lawrence from Pullman?

About 1,448 road miles (1,227 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 25 hours (3 driving days).

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 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 Kansas 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 Lawrence?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $2,090 to $2,950 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,310 to $3,400. 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–Lawrence corridor.
