The route from Evansville, IN to Missoula, MT covers roughly 1,740 miles by road, a northwest-bound trip that falls into the cross-country 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 $6,050 to $9,010 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 5 to 10 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 30 hours (4 driving days).

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 35 around Missoula (24 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 Missoula.

Evansville has a population of about 116,176 and Missoula about 76,000. The two cities have comparable density (2,475 and 2,111 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

Tips for this move

Expect a delivery spread of one to two weeks; plan temporary housing in Missoula accordingly.
Compare a full-service van line against a container service; for a small household the container often wins.
Ask about consolidated versus dedicated truck options—dedicated is faster but costs more.
Read the FMCSA 'Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move' booklet the carrier must provide.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Evansville to Missoula?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,420 to $3,600 for a studio, $3,630 to $5,400 for a one-bedroom, $6,050 to $9,010 for a two-bedroom, $9,690 to $14,410 for a three-bedroom and $13,320 to $19,820 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Missoula from Evansville?

About 1,740 road miles (1,475 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 30 hours (4 driving days).

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 5 to 10 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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Indiana into Montana 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.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Evansville to Missoula?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $2,390 to $3,370 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,570 to $3,780. 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.

When is the least expensive time to book this move?

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 Evansville–Missoula corridor.
