Bozeman, MT → Arlington, TX · Long-distance move
About 1,372 road miles heading southeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,490–$8,170, delivery in 3–7 days, 39 carriers on the Bozeman side and 1,724 in Arlington.
Moving from Bozeman to Arlington is a long-distance move of roughly 1,372 road miles, heading southeast from Montana to Texas.
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 $5,490 to $8,170 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 24 hours (3 driving days).
On the Bozeman side there are 39 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (27 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1,724 around Arlington (721 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 Arlington.
Bozeman has a population of about 57,000 and Arlington about 402,134. Arlington is the denser city (4,111 people per square mile versus 2,493 in Bozeman), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Texas levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 1,372 road miles (1,163 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 24 hours (3 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 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 Montana 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 $2,010 to $2,840 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,240 to $3,300. 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 Bozeman–Arlington corridor.
