Lewisville, TX → Washington, DC · Long-distance move
About 1,397 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,170–$9,180, delivery in 3–7 days, 655 carriers on the Lewisville side and 1,904 in Washington.
Moving from Lewisville to Washington is a long-distance move of roughly 1,397 road miles, heading northeast from Texas to District of Columbia.
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 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 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 1,904 around Washington (1,206 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 Washington.
Lewisville has a population of about 139,006 and Washington about 693,645. Washington is the denser city (11,286 people per square mile versus 3,022 in Lewisville), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. District of Columbia is a higher-cost state than Texas, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. Note that District of Columbia does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 1,397 road miles (1,184 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 Texas into District of Columbia 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 $2,040 to $2,870 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,270 to $3,330. 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–Washington corridor.
