White Plains, NY → Anchorage, AK · Cross-country move
About 3,957 road miles heading northwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $11,790–$17,540, delivery in 7–14 days, 369 carriers on the White Plains side and 123 in Anchorage.
Moving from White Plains to Anchorage is a cross-country move of roughly 3,957 road miles, heading northwest from New York to Alaska.
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 $11,790 to $17,540 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 68 hours (8 driving days).
On the White Plains side there are 369 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (163 of them authorized for interstate work), and 123 around Anchorage (34 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 Anchorage.
White Plains has a population of about 60,000 and Anchorage about 287,155. White Plains is considerably denser (6,117 people per square mile versus 171), 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.

About 3,957 road miles (3,353 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 68 hours (8 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 New York 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 $5,420 to $7,650 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $4,550 to $6,690. 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 White Plains–Anchorage corridor.
