Moving from Yakima to Akron is a cross-country move of roughly 2,314 road miles, heading east from Washington to Ohio.

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 7 to 14 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 40 hours (5 driving days).

On the Yakima side there are 60 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (34 of them authorized for interstate work), and 349 around Akron (215 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 Akron.

Yakima has a population of about 98,000 and Akron about 189,691. The two cities have comparable density (3,481 and 3,077 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Labor and living costs run lower in Ohio than in Washington, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home. Note that Ohio does collect a state income tax, unlike Washington, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Yakima to Akron?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $3,000 to $4,470 for a studio, $4,500 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 $16,510 to $24,570 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Akron from Yakima?

About 2,314 road miles (1,961 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 40 hours (5 driving days).

How long will the movers take to deliver?

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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Washington into Ohio 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.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Yakima to Akron?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $3,280 to $4,630 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,090 to $4,540. 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.

When is the least expensive time to book this move?

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 Yakima–Akron corridor.
