Longview, TX → Tyler, TX · Local move
About 41 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,180–$1,760, delivery in 0–1 days, 89 carriers on the Longview side and 153 in Tyler.
Moving from Longview to Tyler is a local move of roughly 41 road miles, heading southwest within Texas.
Because the two cities are close together, most companies quote this move by the hour: a crew of two to four movers plus a truck, with the drive of about 1 h 17 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,180 and $1,760, before packing or storage.
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 153 around Tyler (66 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 Tyler.
Longview has a population of about 82,000 and Tyler about 113,723. The two cities have comparable density (1,462 and 1,843 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $640 to $950 for a studio, $740 to $1,100 for a one-bedroom, $1,180 to $1,760 for a two-bedroom, $1,820 to $2,710 for a three-bedroom and $2,710 to $4,030 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.
About 41 road miles (35 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 1 h 17 min.
For a move this short, loading and delivery normally happen on the same day. Most crews finish a two-bedroom home in 5 to 8 hours plus the drive.
No. Because both Longview and Tyler 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 $190 to $270 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,060 to $1,550. 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–Tyler corridor.
