The route from Denton, TX to Ames, IA covers roughly 753 miles by road, a north-bound trip that falls into the long-distance move category for pricing purposes.
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 $3,830 to $5,700 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 13 h 41 min.
On the Denton side there are 409 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (187 of them authorized for interstate work), and 55 around Ames (25 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 Ames.
Denton has a population of about 169,431 and Ames about 66,000. Ames is the denser city (2,355 people per square mile versus 1,451 in Denton), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Note that Iowa does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.
