Morgantown, WV → Plano, TX · Long-distance move
About 1,224 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,870–$7,240, delivery in 3–7 days, 67 carriers on the Morgantown side and 1,562 in Plano.
Moving from Morgantown to Plano is a long-distance move of roughly 1,224 road miles, heading west from West Virginia to Texas.
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 $4,870 to $7,240 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 21 h 48 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 1,562 around Plano (674 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 Plano.
Morgantown has a population of about 30,000 and Plano about 293,028. Plano is the denser city (3,982 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 1,224 road miles (1,038 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 21 h 48 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 $1,710 to $2,410 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,110 to $3,110. 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–Plano corridor.
