Longview, TX → Springfield, IL · Long-distance move
About 682 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,890–$5,790, delivery in 2–5 days, 89 carriers on the Longview side and 58 in Springfield.
Moving from Longview to Springfield is a long-distance move of roughly 682 road miles, heading northeast from Texas to Illinois.
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 $3,890 to $5,790 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 12 h 28 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 58 around Springfield (45 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 Springfield.
Longview has a population of about 82,000 and Springfield about 112,989. The two cities have comparable density (1,462 and 1,872 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Note that Illinois does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 682 road miles (578 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 12 h 28 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.
Yes. Crossing from Texas into Illinois 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.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,000 to $1,410 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,630 to $2,400. 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–Springfield corridor.
