Atlanta, GA → Irving, TX · Long-distance move
About 858 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,190–$6,230, delivery in 2–5 days, 3,398 carriers on the Atlanta side and 2,220 in Irving.
The route from Atlanta, GA to Irving, TX covers roughly 858 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 $4,190 to $6,230 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 30 min.
On the Atlanta side there are 3,398 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (1,586 of them authorized for interstate work), and 2,220 around Irving (881 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 Irving.
Atlanta has a population of about 529,110 and Irving about 257,076. The two cities have comparable density (3,686 and 3,831 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Texas levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 858 road miles (727 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 15 h 30 min.
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.
Yes. Crossing from Georgia into Texas 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.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,180 to $1,670 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,790 to $2,630. 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.
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 Atlanta–Irving corridor.
