Reverse: Moab → Abilene

The route from Abilene, TX to Moab, UT covers roughly 819 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 $4,170 to $6,210 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 14 h 49 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 1 around Moab (1 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 Moab.

Abilene has a population of about 131,588 and Moab about 5,000. The two cities have comparable density (1,173 and 1,118 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Note that Utah does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

Frequently asked questions

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

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,670 to $2,480 for a studio, $2,500 to $3,730 for a one-bedroom, $4,170 to $6,210 for a two-bedroom, $6,680 to $9,940 for a three-bedroom and $9,180 to $13,660 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Moab from Abilene?

About 819 road miles (694 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 14 h 49 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 2 to 5 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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Texas into Utah makes this an interstate move, so the carrier must hold active FMCSA operating authority (an MC number) in addition to its USDOT number. The company cards on this page flag which carriers are authorized for interstate work.

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

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,140 to $1,610 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,750 to $2,570. 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–Moab corridor.
