Santa Monica sits about 1,619 miles west of Longview, which makes this an interstate relocation from Texas to California that most movers classify as a cross-country 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 $6,750 to $10,040 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 5 to 10 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 28 hours (4 driving days).
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 603 around Santa Monica (222 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 Santa Monica.
Longview has a population of about 82,000 and Santa Monica about 92,000. Santa Monica is the denser city (11,069 people per square mile versus 1,462 in Longview), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. California is a higher-cost state than Texas, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. Note that California does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.
