Augusta, GA → Amarillo, TX · Long-distance move
About 1,337 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,350–$7,960, delivery in 3–7 days, 200 carriers on the Augusta side and 82 in Amarillo.
Moving from Augusta to Amarillo is a long-distance move of roughly 1,337 road miles, heading west from Georgia to 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 $5,350 to $7,960 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 23 h 45 min.
On the Augusta side there are 200 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (127 of them authorized for interstate work), and 82 around Amarillo (45 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 Amarillo.
Augusta has a population of about 201,999 and Amarillo about 205,130. Amarillo is the denser city (1,959 people per square mile versus 668 in Augusta), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Texas levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 1,337 road miles (1,133 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 23 h 45 min.
Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 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 $1,820 to $2,570 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,210 to $3,250. 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 Augusta–Amarillo corridor.
