Moving from San Luis Obispo to Waco is a cross-country move of roughly 1,622 road miles, heading east from California 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 $6,750 to $10,050 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 28 hours (4 driving days).
On the San Luis Obispo side there are 11 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (4 of them authorized for interstate work), and 121 around Waco (34 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 Waco.
San Luis Obispo has a population of about 47,000 and Waco about 147,788. San Luis Obispo is considerably denser (3,494 people per square mile versus 1,561), 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.
