Tampa, FL → Fort Worth, TX · Long-distance move
About 1,116 road miles heading northwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,910–$7,310, delivery in 3–7 days, 1,059 carriers on the Tampa side and 2,811 in Fort Worth.
Moving from Tampa to Fort Worth is a long-distance move of roughly 1,116 road miles, heading northwest from Florida 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 $4,910 to $7,310 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 19 h 57 min.
On the Tampa side there are 1,059 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (368 of them authorized for interstate work), and 2,811 around Fort Worth (1,207 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 Fort Worth.
Tampa has a population of about 413,554 and Fort Worth about 1 million. The two cities have comparable density (3,377 and 2,646 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

About 1,116 road miles (946 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 19 h 57 min.
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 Florida 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 $1,600 to $2,250 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,020 to $2,960. 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 Tampa–Fort Worth corridor.
