Great Falls sits about 1,420 miles northwest of Abilene, which makes this an interstate relocation from Texas to Montana 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 $5,610 to $8,340 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 25 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 28 around Great Falls (21 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 Great Falls.
Abilene has a population of about 131,588 and Great Falls about 60,000. Great Falls is the denser city (2,613 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 Montana does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.
