Moving from Evansville to Ames is a long-distance move of roughly 503 road miles, heading northwest from Indiana to Iowa.
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 $3,170 to $4,720 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 9 h 22 min.
On the Evansville side there are 120 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (81 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.
Evansville has a population of about 116,176 and Ames about 66,000. The two cities have comparable density (2,475 and 2,355 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.
