Lewisville, TX → Missoula, MT · Cross-country move
About 1,544 road miles heading northwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,870–$8,740, delivery in 5–10 days, 655 carriers on the Lewisville side and 35 in Missoula.
Moving from Lewisville to Missoula is a cross-country move of roughly 1,544 road miles, heading northwest from Texas to Montana.
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 $5,870 to $8,740 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 27 hours (4 driving days).
On the Lewisville side there are 655 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (262 of them authorized for interstate work), and 35 around Missoula (24 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 Missoula.
Lewisville has a population of about 139,006 and Missoula about 76,000. Lewisville is considerably denser (3,022 people per square mile versus 2,111), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Note that Montana does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 1,544 road miles (1,309 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 27 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 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 $2,190 to $3,090 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,400 to $3,530. 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 Lewisville–Missoula corridor.
