Reverse: Killeen → Evanston

Moving from Evanston to Killeen is a long-distance move of roughly 1,108 road miles, heading southwest from Illinois 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 $4,960 to $7,390 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 19 h 48 min.

On the Evanston side there are 739 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (527 of them authorized for interstate work), and 147 around Killeen (55 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 Killeen.

Evanston has a population of about 78,000 and Killeen about 161,883. Evanston is considerably denser (10,041 people per square mile versus 2,794), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Texas levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Evanston to Killeen?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,990 to $2,950 for a studio, $2,980 to $4,430 for a one-bedroom, $4,960 to $7,390 for a two-bedroom, $7,940 to $11,820 for a three-bedroom and $10,920 to $16,250 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Killeen from Evanston?

About 1,108 road miles (939 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 19 h 48 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Illinois 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.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Evanston to Killeen?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,590 to $2,240 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,010 to $2,950. 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.

When is the least expensive time to book this move?

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 Evanston–Killeen corridor.
