Moving from Oregon to New YorkHow we estimate these costs
Interstate moving is priced on two dominant variables: how much your shipment weighs and how far it travels. Our estimates model both — a fixed origin-and-destination component covering labor, load, and unload, plus a linehaul component that scales with weight multiplied by distance.
Shipment weights come from standard planning figures by home size (a studio runs about 1,800 lbs; a three-bedroom home about 7,500 lbs). Road distance is calculated between city centers and adjusted for real highway routing. The range shown spans roughly ±22% around the modelled midpoint, which is where most quotes for a given route and home size land.
These are estimates, not quotes, and not any single carrier's rate sheet. Under federal rules an interstate mover must give you a written estimate based on your actual inventory — this figure is for budgeting before you get one.
