Astoria, OR → Galveston, TX · Cross-country move
About 2,299 road miles heading southeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $7,340–$10,920, delivery in 7–14 days, 11 carriers on the Astoria side and 37 in Galveston.
Galveston sits about 2,299 miles southeast of Astoria, which makes this an interstate relocation from Oregon to Texas that most movers classify as a cross-country move.
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 $7,340 to $10,920 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 Astoria side there are 11 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (8 of them authorized for interstate work), and 37 around Galveston (17 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 Galveston.
Astoria has a population of about 10,000 and Galveston about 53,000. The two cities have comparable density (1,667 and 1,308 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Labor and living costs run lower in Texas than in Oregon, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home. Texas levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 2,299 road miles (1,949 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 40 hours (5 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 Oregon into Texas 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 $3,260 to $4,610 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,070 to $4,520. 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 Astoria–Galveston corridor.
