About 444 miles inside Texas. Past the 100-mile local band movers price on distance and weight, but because the truck never crosses a state line the move is regulated by Texas, not by the federal FMCSA. That changes which licence to check and which estimate rules protect you.

How these figures are calculated
At the Fort Worth end
For a local crew after delivery, the largest licensed carriers within 30 miles of Fort Worth: Atlantic Relocation Systems (Carrollton, 72 trucks), Suddath Moving & Storage (Coppell, 65 trucks), Armstrong Relocation (Carrollton, 54 trucks), Midland Van Lines (Alvarado, 29 trucks).
Rules that apply to this move
Both ends are in Texas, so Texas rather than the FMCSA regulates the move: ask the mover which Texas licence or registration it holds and check it with the state. The federal 110% cap on non-binding estimates does not reach a move inside Texas, so your protection on this 444-mile job is the estimate you sign; ask for it binding or not-to-exceed. More in binding vs non-binding estimates.
Before you book Laredo to Fort Worth
Ask: dedicated or consolidated?
This is the distance where carriers split. A dedicated truck costs more and delivers on a date; a consolidated load costs less and delivers in a window. Decide which you are buying before you compare prices.
Get it binding or not-to-exceed
A non-binding estimate is a guess with no ceiling. On 444 miles the gap between a guess and a weighed load is measured in four figures.
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).
