Monroe, LA → El Paso, TX · Long-distance move
About 991 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,390–$6,540, delivery in 2–5 days, 49 carriers on the Monroe side and 360 in El Paso.
Moving from Monroe to El Paso is a long-distance move of roughly 991 road miles, heading west from Louisiana 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 $4,390 to $6,540 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 47 min.
On the Monroe side there are 49 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (26 of them authorized for interstate work), and 360 around El Paso (263 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 El Paso.
Monroe has a population of about 46,000 and El Paso about 683,012. El Paso is the denser city (2,627 people per square mile versus 1,604 in Monroe), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Texas levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 991 road miles (840 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 17 h 47 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 Louisiana 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.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,470 to $2,070 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,900 to $2,800. 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 Monroe–El Paso corridor.
