Reverse: Knoxville → Longview

Moving from Longview to Knoxville is a long-distance move of roughly 781 road miles, heading northeast from Texas to Tennessee.

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 $3,940 to $5,860 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 14 h 10 min.

On the Longview side there are 89 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (47 of them authorized for interstate work), and 229 around Knoxville (129 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 Knoxville.

Longview has a population of about 82,000 and Knoxville about 202,021. Knoxville is the denser city (1,933 people per square mile versus 1,462 in Longview), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

Tips for this move

Declutter first: long-haul pricing is by weight, so every hundred pounds you sell or donate saves money.
Check whether a shuttle truck is needed in Knoxville if a 53-foot trailer cannot reach your street.
Keep vehicle titles, passports and prescriptions with you; movers cannot carry some items at all.
Insist on a binding or binding-not-to-exceed estimate after an in-home or video survey.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Longview to Knoxville?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,570 to $2,340 for a studio, $2,360 to $3,510 for a one-bedroom, $3,940 to $5,860 for a two-bedroom, $6,300 to $9,370 for a three-bedroom and $8,660 to $12,890 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Knoxville from Longview?

About 781 road miles (662 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 14 h 10 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Texas 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.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Longview to Knoxville?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,100 to $1,560 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,720 to $2,530. 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.

When is the least expensive time to book this move?

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 Longview–Knoxville corridor.
