Kerrville, TX → Newport News, VA · Cross-country move
About 1,635 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,170–$9,180, delivery in 5–10 days, 31 carriers on the Kerrville side and 168 in Newport News.
Moving from Kerrville to Newport News is a cross-country move of roughly 1,635 road miles, heading northeast from Texas to Virginia.
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 $6,170 to $9,180 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 28 hours (4 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 168 around Newport News (89 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 Newport News.
Kerrville has a population of about 25,000 and Newport News about 183,230. Newport News is the denser city (2,699 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 Virginia does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 1,635 road miles (1,386 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 28 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 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 $2,280 to $3,220 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,480 to $3,650. 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–Newport News corridor.
