San Jose, CA → Lewisville, TX · Cross-country move
About 1,686 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,860–$10,210, delivery in 5–10 days, 484 carriers on the San Jose side and 655 in Lewisville.
The route from San Jose, CA to Lewisville, TX covers roughly 1,686 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 $6,860 to $10,210 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 29 hours (4 driving days).
On the San Jose side there are 484 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (125 of them authorized for interstate work), and 655 around Lewisville (262 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 Lewisville.
San Jose has a population of about 989,814 and Lewisville about 139,006. San Jose is considerably denser (5,683 people per square mile versus 3,022), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Labor and living costs run lower in Texas than in California, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home. Texas levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 1,686 road miles (1,429 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 29 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 California 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 $2,330 to $3,290 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,520 to $3,710. 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 Jose–Lewisville corridor.
