Wausau, WI → West Palm Beach, FL · Cross-country move
About 1,610 road miles heading southeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,010–$8,940, delivery in 5–10 days, 107 carriers on the Wausau side and 446 in West Palm Beach.
Moving from Wausau to West Palm Beach is a cross-country move of roughly 1,610 road miles, heading southeast from Wisconsin to Florida.
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 $6,010 to $8,940 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 28 hours (4 driving days).
On the Wausau side there are 107 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (58 of them authorized for interstate work), and 446 around West Palm Beach (162 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 West Palm Beach.
Wausau has a population of about 40,000 and West Palm Beach about 127,189. The two cities have comparable density (2,080 and 2,182 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Florida levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 1,610 road miles (1,365 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 28 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 Wisconsin into Florida 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 $2,250 to $3,180 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,460 to $3,610. 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 Wausau–West Palm Beach corridor.
