San Angelo, TX → Davenport, IA · Long-distance move
About 1,046 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,520–$6,730, delivery in 3–7 days, 28 carriers on the San Angelo side and 98 in Davenport.
Moving from San Angelo to Davenport is a long-distance move of roughly 1,046 road miles, heading northeast from Texas to Iowa.
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 $4,520 to $6,730 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 44 min.
On the San Angelo side there are 28 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (9 of them authorized for interstate work), and 98 around Davenport (78 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 Davenport.
San Angelo has a population of about 100,640 and Davenport about 100,358. The two cities have comparable density (1,673 and 1,594 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Note that Iowa does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

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 Texas into Iowa 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 $1,520 to $2,150 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,950 to $2,870. 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 San Angelo–Davenport corridor.
