Wausau, WI → Fishers, IN · Regional long-distance move
About 464 road miles heading southeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,110–$4,620, delivery in 1–3 days, 107 carriers on the Wausau side and 345 in Fishers.
Moving from Wausau to Fishers is a regional long-distance move of roughly 464 road miles, heading southeast from Wisconsin to Indiana.
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 $3,110 to $4,620 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 8 h 42 min.
On the Wausau side there are 107 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (58 of them authorized for interstate work), and 345 around Fishers (225 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 Fishers.
Wausau has a population of about 40,000 and Fishers about 104,812. Fishers is the denser city (2,780 people per square mile versus 2,080 in Wausau), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 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 Wisconsin into Indiana 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 $780 to $1,100 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,430 to $2,110. 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 Wausau–Fishers corridor.
