Moving from Carrollton to Wichita Falls is a short-haul move of roughly 134 road miles, heading northwest within Texas.
Because the two cities are close together, most companies quote this move by the hour: a crew of two to four movers plus a truck, with the drive of about 3 h 1 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $2,020 and $3,010, before packing or storage.
On the Carrollton side there are 976 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (399 of them authorized for interstate work), and 41 around Wichita Falls (13 interstate). For an in-state 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 Wichita Falls.
Carrollton has a population of about 134,562 and Wichita Falls about 101,951. Carrollton is considerably denser (3,636 people per square mile versus 1,421), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

About 134 road miles (113 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 3 h 1 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 2 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.
No. Because both Carrollton and Wichita Falls are in Texas, this is an intrastate move regulated by the state rather than the FMCSA. Still, choosing a carrier with an active USDOT number is the easiest way to confirm the company is a registered motor carrier with insurance on file.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $290 to $410 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,140 to $1,680. 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 Carrollton–Wichita Falls corridor.
