Conroe, TX → Abilene, TX · Regional long-distance move
About 343 road miles heading northwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,760–$4,110, delivery in 1–3 days, 407 carriers on the Conroe side and 44 in Abilene.
Abilene sits about 343 miles northwest of Conroe, so this is an in-state move that most movers classify as a regional long-distance move.
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 $2,760 to $4,110 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 6 h 37 min.
On the Conroe side there are 407 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (172 of them authorized for interstate work), and 44 around Abilene (14 interstate). For an in-state 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.
Conroe has a population of about 119,564 and Abilene about 131,588. The two cities have comparable density (1,249 and 1,173 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

About 343 road miles (291 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 6 h 37 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 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.
No. Because both Conroe and Abilene are in Texas, this is an intrastate move regulated by the state rather than the FMCSA. Still, choosing a carrier with an active USDOT number is the easiest way to confirm the company is a registered motor carrier with insurance on file.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $500 to $710 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,330 to $1,950. 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 Conroe–Abilene corridor.
