The route from Round Rock, TX to Santa Cruz, CA covers roughly 1,728 miles by road, a northwest-bound trip that falls into the cross-country 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 $6,940 to $10,320 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 30 hours (4 driving days).
On the Round Rock side there are 478 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (144 of them authorized for interstate work), and 27 around Santa Cruz (6 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 Santa Cruz.
Round Rock has a population of about 141,282 and Santa Cruz about 62,000. Santa Cruz is the denser city (4,942 people per square mile versus 3,177 in Round Rock), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. California is a higher-cost state than Texas, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. Note that California does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.
