Spokane to Kennewick, down to the Tri-Cities
Kennewick is 140 miles southwest, about 2.25 hours down US-395 through the Palouse and the Columbia Basin to the Tri-Cities. Families head south for a Hanford or Pacific Northwest National Lab job, the warmer Mid-Columbia climate, or wine-country roots.

The gap between a South Hill basement home and a Kennewick rancher or new build shapes the whole job. The question is whether the load rides safe down US-395 and whether the crew shows when promised.
Where Pettinger breaks from the bargain shops
We won’t set your load at a depot to finish on an outside hauler’s rig, and we won’t saddle you with a hazy multi-day window. The same crew that finishes your Spokane home drives it the whole way to Kennewick, delivery date set from the first call.
Assembling the Kennewick run
Loading sets it off, and Greg plots the US-395 line across the Columbia Basin, an open two-lane stretch where summer heat and winter fog both factor in.
- Survey both ends the Spokane basement stairs and gravel driveway are read and the carry mapped
- Inventory and cushion every item is listed and padded for the 140-mile US-395 haul
- Plot the route the open Columbia Basin stretch is timed around heat, fog, and Tri-Cities traffic
- Drive it through one crew unloads in Kennewick with no depot in the middle
- Set the date a real delivery date, with Spokane storage if the closing has yet to settle
It is a short cross-state run, but it is still our truck and our crew the whole way down US-395. Nobody else touches your load between Spokane and the Tri-Cities. — Greg Pettinger, Dispatch
One price for all 140 miles
A 2.25-hour run south is just the distance where a bargain outfit waves a tempting figure, then folds in mileage billing, a long-carry charge, and a fuel surcharge the second your couch rides aboard.
