Flint, MI → Irving, TX · Long-distance move
About 1,187 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,960–$7,380, delivery in 3–7 days, 142 carriers on the Flint side and 2,220 in Irving.
Moving from Flint to Irving is a long-distance move of roughly 1,187 road miles, heading southwest from Michigan 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 $7,380 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 21 h 10 min.
On the Flint side there are 142 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (39 of them authorized for interstate work), and 2,220 around Irving (881 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 Irving.
Flint has a population of about 79,000 and Irving about 257,076. Irving is the denser city (3,831 people per square mile versus 2,430 in Flint), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Texas levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 1,187 road miles (1,006 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 21 h 10 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 Michigan 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 $1,670 to $2,360 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,080 to $3,060. 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 Flint–Irving corridor.
