The route
A genuine long haul at 1,661 miles from California to Texas. Almost all of these move as consolidated freight: your goods share a trailer and the carrier quotes 7 to 14 days rather than a date. It is why a two-bedroom home here runs $7,475 – $9,966 instead of scaling straight with distance, and also why there is more handling and a looser schedule.

How these figures are calculated
At the Fort Worth end

Rules that apply to this move
Because the truck crosses from California into Texas, 49 CFR Part 375 applies: a written estimate before loading, no more than 110% of a non-binding estimate collected at delivery, and full-value protection unless you choose released value in writing. See binding vs non-binding estimates and valuation explained.
Before you book Fremont to Fort Worth
Insist on a survey
Over 1,661 miles the price is driven almost entirely by weight. A quote given without a video or in-home survey is a guess that gets revised upward on loading day, and at this distance the revision is expensive.
Keep full-value protection
It is the default on an interstate move. Signing it away for released value means 60 cents per pound, about $18 for a 30 lb television, after 1,661 miles of handling.
Arriving in Fort Worth
A local move inside Fort Worth later — across town, out of temporary housing — is billed by the hour: about $445 – $733 for a two-bedroom home and $741 – $1,344 for three bedrooms. The nearest cities we cover from Fort Worth are Arlington (about 15 mi), Irving (about 26 mi), Dallas (about 36 mi).
