The route from Wichita Falls, TX to Lawton, OK covers roughly 59 miles by road, a north-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 1 h 43 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,230 and $1,830, before packing or storage.
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 40 around Lawton (26 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 Lawton.
Wichita Falls has a population of about 101,951 and Lawton about 90,000. The two cities have comparable density (1,421 and 1,110 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Note that Oklahoma does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

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.
Yes. Crossing from Texas into Oklahoma 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 $210 to $300 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,070 to $1,580. 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–Lawton corridor.
