The route from Waco, TX to Chattanooga, TN covers roughly 862 miles by road, a northeast-bound trip that falls into the long-distance 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 $4,130 to $6,150 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 15 h 34 min.
On the Waco side there are 121 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (34 of them authorized for interstate work), and 241 around Chattanooga (155 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 Chattanooga.
Waco has a population of about 147,788 and Chattanooga about 194,144. The two cities have comparable density (1,561 and 1,272 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.
