Morgantown, WV → Huntsville, AL · Long-distance move
About 594 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,250–$4,840, delivery in 2–5 days, 67 carriers on the Morgantown side and 204 in Huntsville.
Moving from Morgantown to Huntsville is a long-distance move of roughly 594 road miles, heading southwest from West Virginia to Alabama.
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 $3,250 to $4,840 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 10 h 57 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 204 around Huntsville (104 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 Huntsville.
Morgantown has a population of about 30,000 and Huntsville about 233,627. Morgantown is considerably denser (2,981 people per square mile versus 986), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

About 594 road miles (503 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 10 h 57 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 Alabama 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 $910 to $1,280 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,550 to $2,280. 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–Huntsville corridor.
