About 99 road miles heading southeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,440–$2,140, delivery in 1–2 days, 107 carriers on the Wausau side and 114 in Oshkosh.
The route from Wausau, WI to Oshkosh, WI covers roughly 99 miles by road, a southeast-bound trip that falls into the short-haul move category for pricing purposes.
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 24 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,440 and $2,140, before packing or storage.
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 114 around Oshkosh (56 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 Oshkosh.
Wausau has a population of about 40,000 and Oshkosh about 66,000. The two cities have comparable density (2,080 and 2,468 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

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 Wausau and Oshkosh are in Wisconsin, 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 $350 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 Wausau–Oshkosh corridor.
