About 1,534 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,860–$8,710, delivery in 5–10 days, 655 carriers on the Lewisville side and 1,658 in Philadelphia.
The route from Lewisville, TX to Philadelphia, PA covers roughly 1,534 miles by road, a northeast-bound trip that falls into the cross-country 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 $5,860 to $8,710 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 1,658 around Philadelphia (1,138 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 Philadelphia.
Lewisville has a population of about 139,006 and Philadelphia about 1.6 million. Philadelphia is the denser city (11,933 people per square mile versus 3,022 in Lewisville), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Note that Pennsylvania does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 1,534 road miles (1,300 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 Pennsylvania 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 $2,180 to $3,070 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,390 to $3,510. 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–Philadelphia corridor.
