Longview, TX → Laredo, TX · Long-distance move
About 524 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,370–$5,020, delivery in 2–5 days, 89 carriers on the Longview side and 323 in Laredo.
Laredo sits about 524 miles southwest of Longview, so this is an in-state move 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 $3,370 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 9 h 44 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 323 around Laredo (207 interstate). For an in-state 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 Laredo.
Longview has a population of about 82,000 and Laredo about 269,515. Laredo is the denser city (2,396 people per square mile versus 1,462 in Longview), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,350 to $2,010 for a studio, $2,020 to $3,010 for a one-bedroom, $3,370 to $5,020 for a two-bedroom, $5,400 to $8,030 for a three-bedroom and $7,420 to $11,040 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.
About 524 road miles (444 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 9 h 44 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.
No. Because both Longview and Laredo are in Texas, this is an intrastate move regulated by the state rather than the FMCSA. Still, choosing a carrier with an active USDOT number is the easiest way to confirm the company is a registered motor carrier with insurance on file.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $840 to $1,180 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,490 to $2,190. 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 Longview–Laredo corridor.
