The route from Abilene, TX to Boise, ID covers roughly 1,391 miles by road, a northwest-bound trip that falls into the long-distance move category for pricing purposes.
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 $5,540 to $8,240 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 24 hours (3 driving days).
On the Abilene side there are 44 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (14 of them authorized for interstate work), and 168 around Boise (127 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 Boise.
Abilene has a population of about 131,588 and Boise about 238,429. Boise is the denser city (2,806 people per square mile versus 1,173 in Abilene), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Note that Idaho does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.
