Jacksonville, NC → Fort Worth, TX · Long-distance move
About 1,360 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,380–$8,000, delivery in 3–7 days, 59 carriers on the Jacksonville side and 2,811 in Fort Worth.
The route from Jacksonville, NC to Fort Worth, TX covers roughly 1,360 miles by road, a west-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 $5,380 to $8,000 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 24 hours (3 driving days).
On the Jacksonville side there are 59 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (31 of them authorized for interstate work), and 2,811 around Fort Worth (1,207 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 Fort Worth.
Jacksonville has a population of about 74,000 and Fort Worth about 1 million. Fort Worth is the denser city (2,646 people per square mile versus 1,490 in Jacksonville), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Texas levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 1,360 road miles (1,152 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 24 hours (3 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 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 North Carolina into Texas 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 $2,000 to $2,820 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,230 to $3,290. 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 Jacksonville–Fort Worth corridor.
