Morgantown, WV → Evansville, IN · Regional long-distance move
About 500 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,110–$4,630, delivery in 1–3 days, 67 carriers on the Morgantown side and 120 in Evansville.
The route from Morgantown, WV to Evansville, IN covers roughly 500 miles by road, a west-bound trip that falls into the regional 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 $3,110 to $4,630 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 9 h 19 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 120 around Evansville (81 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 Evansville.
Morgantown has a population of about 30,000 and Evansville about 116,176. The two cities have comparable density (2,981 and 2,475 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

About 500 road miles (424 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 9 h 19 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 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 Indiana 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 $810 to $1,150 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,470 to $2,160. 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–Evansville corridor.
