Portsmouth, NH → Denton, TX · Cross-country move
About 1,861 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,630–$9,860, delivery in 5–10 days, 51 carriers on the Portsmouth side and 409 in Denton.
The route from Portsmouth, NH to Denton, TX covers roughly 1,861 miles by road, a west-bound trip that falls into the cross-country 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 $6,630 to $9,860 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 5 to 10 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 32 hours (4 driving days).
On the Portsmouth side there are 51 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (38 of them authorized for interstate work), and 409 around Denton (187 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 Denton.
Portsmouth has a population of about 23,000 and Denton about 169,431. The two cities have comparable density (1,402 and 1,451 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Labor and living costs run lower in Texas than in New Hampshire, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

About 1,861 road miles (1,577 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 32 hours (4 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 5 to 10 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 New Hampshire 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 $2,660 to $3,760 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,680 to $3,940. 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 Portsmouth–Denton corridor.
