The route from Longmont, CO to Houston, TX covers roughly 1,065 miles by road, a southeast-bound trip that falls into the long-distance 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 $4,930 to $7,330 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 19 h 4 min.
On the Longmont side there are 80 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (21 of them authorized for interstate work), and 3,257 around Houston (1,374 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 Houston.
Longmont has a population of about 100,109 and Houston about 2.4 million. The two cities have comparable density (3,434 and 3,599 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Labor and living costs run lower in Texas than in Colorado, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home. Texas levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.
