Portsmouth, NH → Odessa, TX · Cross-country move
About 2,220 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $7,210–$10,730, delivery in 7–14 days, 51 carriers on the Portsmouth side and 84 in Odessa.
Moving from Portsmouth to Odessa is a cross-country move of roughly 2,220 road miles, heading west from New Hampshire 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 $7,210 to $10,730 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 7 to 14 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 38 hours (5 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 84 around Odessa (42 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 Odessa.
Portsmouth has a population of about 23,000 and Odessa about 122,707. Odessa is the denser city (2,239 people per square mile versus 1,402 in Portsmouth), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. 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 2,220 road miles (1,881 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 38 hours (5 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 7 to 14 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 $3,030 to $4,280 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,000 to $4,410. 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–Odessa corridor.
