Fort Worth, TX → New Haven, CT · Cross-country move
About 1,727 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,530–$9,720, delivery in 5–10 days, 2,811 carriers on the Fort Worth side and 242 in New Haven.
New Haven sits about 1,727 miles northeast of Fort Worth, which makes this an interstate relocation from Texas to Connecticut that most movers classify as a cross-country 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 $6,530 to $9,720 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 Fort Worth side there are 2,811 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (1,207 of them authorized for interstate work), and 242 around New Haven (131 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 New Haven.
Fort Worth has a population of about 1 million and New Haven about 138,774. New Haven is the denser city (7,167 people per square mile versus 2,646 in Fort Worth), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Connecticut is a higher-cost state than Texas, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. Note that Connecticut does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 1,727 road miles (1,464 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 30 hours (4 driving days).
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.
Yes. Crossing from Texas into Connecticut 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 $2,370 to $3,350 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,560 to $3,770. 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 Fort Worth–New Haven corridor.
