Lincoln, NE → Murfreesboro, TN · Long-distance move
About 770 road miles heading southeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,850–$5,730, delivery in 2–5 days, 160 carriers on the Lincoln side and 282 in Murfreesboro.
Murfreesboro sits about 770 miles southeast of Lincoln, which makes this an interstate relocation from Nebraska to Tennessee 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 $3,850 to $5,730 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 13 h 59 min.
On the Lincoln side there are 160 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (83 of them authorized for interstate work), and 282 around Murfreesboro (182 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 Murfreesboro.
Lincoln has a population of about 301,522 and Murfreesboro about 171,178. The two cities have comparable density (2,979 and 2,429 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Tennessee levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

Expect a delivery window of 2 to 5 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 Nebraska into Tennessee 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 $1,090 to $1,540 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,710 to $2,510. 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 Lincoln–Murfreesboro corridor.
