Buckeye, AZ → Abilene, TX · Long-distance move
About 886 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,340–$6,460, delivery in 2–5 days, 87 carriers on the Buckeye side and 44 in Abilene.
Moving from Buckeye to Abilene is a long-distance move of roughly 886 road miles, heading east from Arizona 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 $4,340 to $6,460 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 59 min.
On the Buckeye side there are 87 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (50 of them authorized for interstate work), and 44 around Abilene (14 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 Abilene.
Buckeye has a population of about 125,445 and Abilene about 131,588. Abilene is the denser city (1,173 people per square mile versus 233 in Buckeye), 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 886 road miles (751 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 15 h 59 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 Arizona 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 $1,210 to $1,710 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,810 to $2,660. 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 Buckeye–Abilene corridor.
