Wichita Falls, TX → Longview, TX · Regional long-distance move
About 280 road miles heading southeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,540–$3,770, delivery in 1–3 days, 41 carriers on the Wichita Falls side and 89 in Longview.
Longview sits about 280 miles southeast of Wichita Falls, so this is an in-state move that most movers classify as a regional long-distance move.
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 $2,540 to $3,770 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 5 h 32 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 89 around Longview (47 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 Longview.
Wichita Falls has a population of about 101,951 and Longview about 82,000. The two cities have comparable density (1,421 and 1,462 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

About 280 road miles (238 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 5 h 32 min.
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.
No. Because both Wichita Falls and Longview are in Texas, 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 $440 to $620 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,270 to $1,870. 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–Longview corridor.
