Wichita Falls, TX → Las Cruces, NM · Long-distance move
About 579 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,440–$5,110, delivery in 2–5 days, 41 carriers on the Wichita Falls side and 27 in Las Cruces.
Moving from Wichita Falls to Las Cruces is a long-distance move of roughly 579 road miles, heading west from Texas to New Mexico.
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 $3,440 to $5,110 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 10 h 41 min.
On the Wichita Falls side there are 41 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (13 of them authorized for interstate work), and 27 around Las Cruces (21 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 Las Cruces.
Wichita Falls has a population of about 101,951 and Las Cruces about 116,978. The two cities have comparable density (1,421 and 1,448 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Note that New Mexico does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

Expect a delivery window of 2 to 5 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 Texas into New Mexico 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 $890 to $1,260 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,540 to $2,260. 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 Wichita Falls–Las Cruces corridor.
