Lincoln, NE → Oshkosh, WI · Long-distance move
About 554 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,380–$5,020, delivery in 2–5 days, 160 carriers on the Lincoln side and 114 in Oshkosh.
Oshkosh sits about 554 miles northeast of Lincoln, which makes this an interstate relocation from Nebraska to Wisconsin 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 $3,380 to $5,020 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 10 h 15 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 114 around Oshkosh (56 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 Oshkosh.
Lincoln has a population of about 301,522 and Oshkosh about 66,000. The two cities have comparable density (2,979 and 2,468 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

About 554 road miles (469 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 10 h 15 min.
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 Wisconsin 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 $870 to $1,230 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,510 to $2,230. 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–Oshkosh corridor.
