The route from Amarillo, TX to Joliet, IL covers roughly 1,014 miles by road, a northeast-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 $4,730 to $7,030 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 18 h 11 min.
On the Amarillo side there are 82 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (45 of them authorized for interstate work), and 694 around Joliet (561 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 Joliet.
Amarillo has a population of about 205,130 and Joliet about 152,241. The two cities have comparable density (1,959 and 2,331 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Note that Illinois does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.
