The route from Salt Lake City, UT to Evansville, IN covers roughly 1,549 miles by road, a east-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 $5,820 to $8,660 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 27 hours (4 driving days).
On the Salt Lake City side there are 531 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (306 of them authorized for interstate work), and 120 around Evansville (81 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 Evansville.
Salt Lake City has a population of about 218,428 and Evansville about 116,176. Evansville is the denser city (2,475 people per square mile versus 1,811 in Salt Lake City), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Labor and living costs run lower in Indiana than in Utah, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

About 1,549 road miles (1,313 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 27 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 Utah into Indiana 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 $2,190 to $3,090 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,400 to $3,530. 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 Salt Lake City–Evansville corridor.
