Boone sits about 1,253 miles east of Abilene, which makes this an interstate relocation from Texas to North Carolina 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 $5,120 to $7,620 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 22 h 18 min.
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 108 around Boone (84 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 Boone.
Abilene has a population of about 131,588 and Boone about 19,000. Boone is the denser city (2,991 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 North Carolina does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.
