Monroe, LA → Huntington, WV · Long-distance move
About 800 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,780–$5,620, delivery in 2–5 days, 49 carriers on the Monroe side and 35 in Huntington.
The route from Monroe, LA to Huntington, WV covers roughly 800 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 $3,780 to $5,620 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 14 h 30 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 35 around Huntington (21 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 Huntington.
Monroe has a population of about 46,000 and Huntington about 45,000. Huntington is the denser city (2,888 people per square mile versus 1,604 in Monroe), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

About 800 road miles (678 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 14 h 30 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 West Virginia 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 $1,120 to $1,580 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,730 to $2,550. 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 Monroe–Huntington corridor.
