Joliet sits about 904 miles northeast of Dallas, which makes this an interstate relocation from Texas to Illinois that most movers classify as a 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 $4,450 to $6,620 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 16 h 17 min.
On the Dallas side there are 3,665 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (1,566 of them authorized for interstate work), and 694 around Joliet (561 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 Joliet.
Dallas has a population of about 1.3 million and Joliet about 152,241. Dallas is considerably denser (3,841 people per square mile versus 2,331), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Note that Illinois does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.
