Pierre, SD → Tyler, TX · Long-distance move
About 1,034 road miles heading south. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,540–$6,760, delivery in 3–7 days, 2 carriers on the Pierre side and 153 in Tyler.
Tyler sits about 1,034 miles south of Pierre, which makes this an interstate relocation from South Dakota to Texas that most movers classify as a long-distance move.
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 $4,540 to $6,760 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 18 h 32 min.
On the Pierre side there are 2 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (2 of them authorized for interstate work), and 153 around Tyler (66 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 Tyler.
Pierre has a population of about 14,000 and Tyler about 113,723. Tyler is the denser city (1,843 people per square mile versus 1,082 in Pierre), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

About 1,034 road miles (876 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 18 h 32 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 South Dakota 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 $1,510 to $2,130 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,940 to $2,860. 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 Pierre–Tyler corridor.
