Cedar Rapids, IA → Evansville, IN · Regional long-distance move
About 415 road miles heading southeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,880–$4,280, delivery in 1–3 days, 96 carriers on the Cedar Rapids side and 120 in Evansville.
Evansville sits about 415 miles southeast of Cedar Rapids, which makes this an interstate relocation from Iowa to Indiana that most movers classify as a regional long-distance 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 $2,880 to $4,280 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 7 h 51 min.
On the Cedar Rapids side there are 96 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (57 of them authorized for interstate work), and 120 around Evansville (81 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 Evansville.
Cedar Rapids has a population of about 137,935 and Evansville about 116,176. The two cities have comparable density (1,910 and 2,475 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

About 415 road miles (352 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 7 h 51 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 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 Iowa into Indiana 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 $580 to $810 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,390 to $2,040. 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 Cedar Rapids–Evansville corridor.
