Murfreesboro, TN → Waco, TX · Long-distance move
About 809 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,000–$5,960, delivery in 2–5 days, 282 carriers on the Murfreesboro side and 121 in Waco.
The route from Murfreesboro, TN to Waco, TX covers roughly 809 miles by road, a southwest-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 $4,000 to $5,960 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 14 h 39 min.
On the Murfreesboro side there are 282 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (182 of them authorized for interstate work), and 121 around Waco (34 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 Waco.
Murfreesboro has a population of about 171,178 and Waco about 147,788. Murfreesboro is considerably denser (2,429 people per square mile versus 1,561), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

About 809 road miles (686 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 14 h 39 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 Tennessee 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 $1,130 to $1,600 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,740 to $2,560. 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 Murfreesboro–Waco corridor.
