A Direct Carrier for Your Sacramento to New York Move
A coast-to-coast move is where brokers cause the most trouble: your shipment can change hands, sit in a warehouse and arrive with a new price. Cross Country Moving LLC is the carrier. We move households under our own federal authority, USDOT #2022745 and MC #711417, and have done it since 2010 — more than 15 years. The company that quotes you is the company that delivers.
Sacramento homes are usually easy to load. New York is the hard part: walk-up stairs, freight-elevator bookings, certificates of insurance for co-ops and condos, and streets where a big truck can only stop for so long. We collect your building's rules before move day and plan the delivery around them.

How Much Does It Cost to Move from Sacramento to New York?
Most Sacramento to New York moves fall between roughly $1,500 and $16,000+, driven mainly by how much you move and how hard the New York delivery is. We price by volume in cubic feet (as a rule of thumb, 1 cubic foot ≈ 7 lbs). See our long distance moving cost guide.
Ranges are planning estimates for New York City and New York State, last reviewed November 2026. Your binding quote is based on your inventory list: the quoted price holds when the items moved on move day match the inventory you reported.
What moves the price on this route
Volume (cubic feet)
The biggest factor. Downsizing before you leave Sacramento is the fastest way to lower the price.
New York access
Walk-ups, long carries and a shuttle truck where a trailer can't stop add labor. We list them on the quote.
Building requirements
Co-ops and condos often need a certificate of insurance, a freight-elevator booking and set move hours.
Packing
Full or partial packing adds labor and materials and is itemized on your estimate.
Season and storage
May–September costs more. Storage-in-transit helps when your lease starts later.
