Reverse: Longview → Abilene

Moving from Abilene to Longview is a regional long-distance move of roughly 342 road miles, heading east within Texas.

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 $2,760 to $4,100 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 6 h 36 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 89 around Longview (47 interstate). For an in-state 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 Longview.

Abilene has a population of about 131,588 and Longview about 82,000. The two cities have comparable density (1,173 and 1,462 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Abilene to Longview?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,210 to $1,790 for a studio, $1,650 to $2,460 for a one-bedroom, $2,760 to $4,100 for a two-bedroom, $4,410 to $6,560 for a three-bedroom and $6,060 to $9,020 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Longview from Abilene?

About 342 road miles (290 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 6 h 36 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 days after pickup. Carriers give a spread rather than a fixed date because long-distance trucks carry several shipments; a dedicated truck or expedited service shortens the window for an extra fee.

Do I need an interstate-licensed mover for an in-state move?

No. Because both Abilene and Longview are in Texas, this is an intrastate move regulated by the state rather than the FMCSA. Still, choosing a carrier with an active USDOT number is the easiest way to confirm the company is a registered motor carrier with insurance on file.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Abilene to Longview?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $500 to $710 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,330 to $1,950. Both save money versus a full-service crew but you do the loading, and container transit can take longer than a mover's delivery window.

When is the least expensive time to book this move?

Rates are highest in summer and around the last days of any month, when demand peaks. Mid-month, mid-week and winter dates are usually quoted below the standard rate. Booking four to eight weeks ahead gives you the widest choice of carriers on the Abilene–Longview corridor.
