Wichita Falls, TX → Morgantown, WV · Long-distance move
About 1,297 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,040–$7,500, delivery in 3–7 days, 41 carriers on the Wichita Falls side and 67 in Morgantown.
Moving from Wichita Falls to Morgantown is a long-distance move of roughly 1,297 road miles, heading northeast from Texas to West Virginia.
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 $5,040 to $7,500 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 23 h 4 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 67 around Morgantown (49 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 Morgantown.
Wichita Falls has a population of about 101,951 and Morgantown about 30,000. Morgantown is the denser city (2,981 people per square mile versus 1,421 in Wichita Falls), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Labor and living costs run lower in West Virginia than in Texas, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home. Note that West Virginia does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

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 Texas into West Virginia 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 $1,780 to $2,520 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,180 to $3,200. 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–Morgantown corridor.
