Fairfax, VA → Huntington, WV · Regional long-distance move
About 329 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,700–$4,010, delivery in 1–3 days, 534 carriers on the Fairfax side and 35 in Huntington.
Huntington sits about 329 miles west of Fairfax, which makes this an interstate relocation from Virginia to West Virginia 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 $2,700 to $4,010 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 6 h 22 min.
On the Fairfax side there are 534 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (383 of them authorized for interstate work), and 35 around Huntington (21 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 Huntington.
Fairfax has a population of about 25,000 and Huntington about 45,000. Fairfax is considerably denser (3,869 people per square mile versus 2,888), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Labor and living costs run lower in West Virginia than in Virginia, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

About 329 road miles (279 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 6 h 22 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 Virginia into West Virginia 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 $490 to $690 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,310 to $1,930. 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 Fairfax–Huntington corridor.
