Reverse: McAllen → Longview

McAllen sits about 570 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 $3,490 to $5,190 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 32 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 357 around McAllen (213 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 McAllen.

Longview has a population of about 82,000 and McAllen about 150,640. McAllen is the denser city (2,283 people per square mile versus 1,462 in Longview), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

Frequently asked questions

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

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,390 to $2,070 for a studio, $2,090 to $3,110 for a one-bedroom, $3,490 to $5,190 for a two-bedroom, $5,580 to $8,300 for a three-bedroom and $7,670 to $11,410 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is McAllen from Longview?

About 570 road miles (483 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 10 h 32 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.

Do I need an interstate-licensed mover for an in-state move?

No. Because both Longview and McAllen 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.

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

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $890 to $1,250 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,530 to $2,250. 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–McAllen corridor.
