West Jordan, UT → Waco, TX · Long-distance move
About 1,220 road miles heading southeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,170–$7,690, delivery in 3–7 days, 401 carriers on the West Jordan side and 121 in Waco.
Moving from West Jordan to Waco is a long-distance move of roughly 1,220 road miles, heading southeast from Utah to Texas.
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 $5,170 to $7,690 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 21 h 44 min.
On the West Jordan side there are 401 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (229 of them authorized for interstate work), and 121 around Waco (34 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 Waco.
West Jordan has a population of about 116,812 and Waco about 147,788. West Jordan is considerably denser (3,621 people per square mile versus 1,561), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Texas levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 1,220 road miles (1,034 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 21 h 44 min.
Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 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 Utah into Texas 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 $1,700 to $2,410 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,110 to $3,100. 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 West Jordan–Waco corridor.
