Morgantown, WV → Arlington, TX · Long-distance move
About 1,261 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,950–$7,370, delivery in 3–7 days, 67 carriers on the Morgantown side and 1,724 in Arlington.
The route from Morgantown, WV to Arlington, TX covers roughly 1,261 miles by road, a west-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 $4,950 to $7,370 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 22 h 27 min.
On the Morgantown side there are 67 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (49 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1,724 around Arlington (721 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 Arlington.
Morgantown has a population of about 30,000 and Arlington about 402,134. Arlington is the denser city (4,111 people per square mile versus 2,981 in Morgantown), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Texas is a higher-cost state than West Virginia, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. Texas levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 1,261 road miles (1,069 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 22 h 27 min.
Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 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 West Virginia 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 $1,750 to $2,460 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,150 to $3,160. 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 Morgantown–Arlington corridor.
