Carrollton, TX → Syracuse, NY · Cross-country move
About 1,558 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,550–$9,750, delivery in 5–10 days, 976 carriers on the Carrollton side and 195 in Syracuse.
Moving from Carrollton to Syracuse is a cross-country move of roughly 1,558 road miles, heading northeast from Texas to New York.
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 $6,550 to $9,750 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 5 to 10 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 27 hours (4 driving days).
On the Carrollton side there are 976 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (399 of them authorized for interstate work), and 195 around Syracuse (66 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 Syracuse.
Carrollton has a population of about 134,562 and Syracuse about 144,896. Syracuse is the denser city (5,921 people per square mile versus 3,636 in Carrollton), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. New York is a higher-cost state than Texas, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. Note that New York does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 1,558 road miles (1,321 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 27 hours (4 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 5 to 10 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 Texas into New York 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 $2,200 to $3,110 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,410 to $3,540. 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 Carrollton–Syracuse corridor.
