Moving from Waco to Lowell is a cross-country move of roughly 1,899 road miles, heading northeast from Texas to Massachusetts.

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 $7,080 to $10,530 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 33 hours (4 driving days).

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 215 around Lowell (152 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 Lowell.

Waco has a population of about 147,788 and Lowell about 119,971. Lowell is the denser city (8,497 people per square mile versus 1,561 in Waco), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Massachusetts is a higher-cost state than Texas, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. Note that Massachusetts does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Waco to Lowell?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,830 to $4,210 for a studio, $4,250 to $6,320 for a one-bedroom, $7,080 to $10,530 for a two-bedroom, $11,320 to $16,850 for a three-bedroom and $15,570 to $23,160 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Lowell from Waco?

About 1,899 road miles (1,609 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 33 hours (4 driving days).

How long will the movers take to deliver?

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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Texas into Massachusetts 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.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Waco to Lowell?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $2,700 to $3,810 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,710 to $3,990. 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.

When is the least expensive time to book this move?

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–Lowell corridor.
