About 1,330 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,440–$8,100, delivery in 3–7 days, 88 carriers on the Daytona Beach side and 44 in Abilene.
The route from Daytona Beach, FL to Abilene, TX covers roughly 1,330 miles by road, a west-bound trip that falls into the long-distance move category for pricing purposes.
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 $5,440 to $8,100 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 38 min.
On the Daytona Beach side there are 88 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (41 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.
Daytona Beach has a population of about 75,000 and Abilene about 131,588. The two cities have comparable density (1,078 and 1,173 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

About 1,330 road miles (1,127 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 23 h 38 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 Florida 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 $2,560 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 Daytona Beach–Abilene corridor.
