Morgantown, WV → Cedar Rapids, IA · Long-distance move
About 748 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,660–$5,440, delivery in 2–5 days, 67 carriers on the Morgantown side and 96 in Cedar Rapids.
Moving from Morgantown to Cedar Rapids is a long-distance move of roughly 748 road miles, heading west from West Virginia to Iowa.
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 $3,660 to $5,440 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 13 h 36 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 96 around Cedar Rapids (57 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 Cedar Rapids.
Morgantown has a population of about 30,000 and Cedar Rapids about 137,935. Morgantown is considerably denser (2,981 people per square mile versus 1,910), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

About 748 road miles (634 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 13 h 36 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 West Virginia into Iowa 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 $1,070 to $1,510 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,690 to $2,480. 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–Cedar Rapids corridor.
