Springfield, MA → San Mateo, CA · Cross-country move
About 3,094 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $10,260–$15,270, delivery in 7–14 days, 213 carriers on the Springfield side and 332 in San Mateo.
San Mateo sits about 3,094 miles west of Springfield, which makes this an interstate relocation from Massachusetts to California 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 $10,260 to $15,270 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 54 hours (7 driving days).
On the Springfield side there are 213 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (155 of them authorized for interstate work), and 332 around San Mateo (93 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 San Mateo.
Springfield has a population of about 154,702 and San Mateo about 103,337. San Mateo is the denser city (8,732 people per square mile versus 4,888 in Springfield), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

About 3,094 road miles (2,622 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 54 hours (7 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 Massachusetts into California 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 $4,230 to $5,970 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,780 to $5,560. 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 Springfield–San Mateo corridor.
