Reverse: Longview → Lowell

Moving from Lowell to Longview is a cross-country move of roughly 1,717 road miles, heading west from Massachusetts to Texas.

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 $6,760 to $10,060 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 30 hours (4 driving days).

On the Lowell side there are 215 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (152 of them authorized for interstate work), and 89 around Longview (47 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 Longview.

Lowell has a population of about 119,971 and Longview about 82,000. Lowell is considerably denser (8,497 people per square mile versus 1,462), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Labor and living costs run lower in Texas than in Massachusetts, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home. Texas levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

Frequently asked questions

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

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,710 to $4,030 for a studio, $4,060 to $6,040 for a one-bedroom, $6,760 to $10,060 for a two-bedroom, $10,820 to $16,100 for a three-bedroom and $14,880 to $22,140 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Longview from Lowell?

About 1,717 road miles (1,455 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 30 hours (4 driving days).

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 5 to 10 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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Massachusetts into Texas 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.

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

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $2,360 to $3,340 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,550 to $3,750. 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 Lowell–Longview corridor.
