Rialto, CA → Memphis, TN · Cross-country move
About 1,836 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $7,030–$10,460, delivery in 5–10 days, 738 carriers on the Rialto side and 534 in Memphis.
Memphis sits about 1,836 miles east of Rialto, which makes this an interstate relocation from California to Tennessee 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 $7,030 to $10,460 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 5 to 10 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 32 hours (4 driving days).
On the Rialto side there are 738 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (411 of them authorized for interstate work), and 534 around Memphis (397 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 Memphis.
Rialto has a population of about 106,554 and Memphis about 609,647. Rialto is considerably denser (4,316 people per square mile versus 2,132), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Labor and living costs run lower in Tennessee than in California, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home. Tennessee levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 1,836 road miles (1,556 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 32 hours (4 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 5 to 10 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 California into Tennessee 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 $2,640 to $3,720 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,660 to $3,910. 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 Rialto–Memphis corridor.
