Kerrville, TX → Billings, MT · Long-distance move
About 1,418 road miles heading north. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,600–$8,340, delivery in 3–7 days, 31 carriers on the Kerrville side and 33 in Billings.
Billings sits about 1,418 miles north of Kerrville, which makes this an interstate relocation from Texas to Montana that most movers classify as a 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 $5,600 to $8,340 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 25 hours (3 driving days).
On the Kerrville side there are 31 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (7 of them authorized for interstate work), and 33 around Billings (28 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 Billings.
Kerrville has a population of about 25,000 and Billings about 121,239. Billings is the denser city (2,614 people per square mile versus 1,068 in Kerrville), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Note that Montana does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 1,418 road miles (1,201 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 25 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 Texas 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.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $2,060 to $2,900 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,290 to $3,360. 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 Kerrville–Billings corridor.
