The route from Huntington, WV to Ames, IA covers roughly 755 miles by road, a northwest-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 $3,670 to $5,470 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 43 min.
On the Huntington side there are 35 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (21 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.
Huntington has a population of about 45,000 and Ames about 66,000. The two cities have comparable density (2,888 and 2,355 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.
