The route from Abilene, TX to Surprise, AZ covers roughly 874 miles by road, a west-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 $4,310 to $6,410 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 15 h 46 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 435 around Surprise (213 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 Surprise.
Abilene has a population of about 131,588 and Surprise about 175,304. The two cities have comparable density (1,173 and 1,298 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Note that Arizona does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.
