Waco, TX → Fort Worth, TX · Short-haul move
About 100 road miles heading north. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,460–$2,170, delivery in 1–2 days, 121 carriers on the Waco side and 2,811 in Fort Worth.
Fort Worth sits about 100 miles north of Waco, so this is an in-state move that most movers classify as a short-haul move.
Because the two cities are close together, most companies quote this move by the hour: a crew of two to four movers plus a truck, with the drive of about 2 h 25 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,460 and $2,170, before packing or storage.
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 2,811 around Fort Worth (1,207 interstate). For an in-state 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.
Waco has a population of about 147,788 and Fort Worth about 1 million. Fort Worth is the denser city (2,646 people per square mile versus 1,561 in Waco), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $840 to $1,250 for a studio, $950 to $1,410 for a one-bedroom, $1,460 to $2,170 for a two-bedroom, $2,170 to $3,230 for a three-bedroom and $3,130 to $4,650 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.
About 100 road miles (85 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 2 h 25 min.
For a move this short, loading and delivery normally happen on the same day. Most crews finish a two-bedroom home in 5 to 8 hours plus the drive.
No. Because both Waco and Fort Worth are in Texas, this is an intrastate move regulated by the state rather than the FMCSA. Still, choosing a carrier with an active USDOT number is the easiest way to confirm the company is a registered motor carrier with insurance on file.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $250 to $360 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,110 to $1,630. 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 Waco–Fort Worth corridor.
