Ukiah, CA → Juneau, AK · Cross-country move
About 1,669 road miles heading north. Typical two-bedroom cost $7,510–$11,170, delivery in 5–10 days, 15 carriers on the Ukiah side and 7 in Juneau.
The route from Ukiah, CA to Juneau, AK covers roughly 1,669 miles by road, a north-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 $7,510 to $11,170 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 29 hours (4 driving days).
On the Ukiah side there are 15 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (3 of them authorized for interstate work), and 7 around Juneau (1 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 Juneau.
Ukiah has a population of about 17,000 and Juneau about 32,000. Ukiah is considerably denser (3,484 people per square mile versus 12), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Alaska levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $3,000 to $4,470 for a studio, $4,510 to $6,700 for a one-bedroom, $7,510 to $11,170 for a two-bedroom, $12,010 to $17,870 for a three-bedroom and $16,520 to $24,580 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.
About 1,669 road miles (1,414 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 29 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 Alaska 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 $2,310 to $3,270 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,510 to $3,690. 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 Ukiah–Juneau corridor.
