The route from Mesquite, TX to Dayton, OH covers roughly 994 miles by road, a northeast-bound trip that falls into the long-distance move category for pricing purposes.
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 $4,450 to $6,620 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 17 h 50 min.
On the Mesquite side there are 1,504 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (636 of them authorized for interstate work), and 349 around Dayton (240 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 Dayton.
Mesquite has a population of about 150,693 and Dayton about 136,688. The two cities have comparable density (3,095 and 2,467 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Note that Ohio does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.
