Wichita Falls, TX → Montgomery, AL · Long-distance move
About 846 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,990–$5,930, delivery in 2–5 days, 41 carriers on the Wichita Falls side and 172 in Montgomery.
Montgomery sits about 846 miles east of Wichita Falls, which makes this an interstate relocation from Texas to Alabama that most movers classify as a 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 $3,990 to $5,930 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 15 h 17 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 172 around Montgomery (94 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 Montgomery.
Wichita Falls has a population of about 101,951 and Montgomery about 195,300. The two cities have comparable density (1,421 and 1,255 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Labor and living costs run lower in Alabama than in Texas, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home. Note that Alabama does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 846 road miles (717 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 15 h 17 min.
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 Alabama 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 $1,170 to $1,650 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,780 to $2,610. 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–Montgomery corridor.
