Lafayette sits about 889 miles northeast of Mesquite, which makes this an interstate relocation from Texas to Indiana that most movers classify as a long-distance 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 $4,170 to $6,210 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 16 h 2 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 55 around Lafayette (44 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 Lafayette.
Mesquite has a population of about 150,693 and Lafayette about 72,000. The two cities have comparable density (3,095 and 2,409 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Note that Indiana does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.
