Redmond, WA → Columbus, OH · Cross-country move
About 2,358 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $7,580–$11,270, delivery in 7–14 days, 359 carriers on the Redmond side and 854 in Columbus.
Moving from Redmond to Columbus is a cross-country move of roughly 2,358 road miles, heading east from Washington to Ohio.
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 $7,580 to $11,270 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 Redmond side there are 359 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (118 of them authorized for interstate work), and 854 around Columbus (547 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 Columbus.
Redmond has a population of about 76,000 and Columbus about 938,396. The two cities have comparable density (4,422 and 4,117 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Labor and living costs run lower in Ohio than in Washington, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home. Note that Ohio does collect a state income tax, unlike Washington, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 2,358 road miles (1,998 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 41 hours (5 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 Ohio 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 $3,320 to $4,690 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,120 to $4,590. 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 Redmond–Columbus corridor.
