The route from Georgetown, TX to Chicago, IL covers roughly 1,122 miles by road, a northeast-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 $5,000 to $7,440 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 20 h 3 min.
On the Georgetown side there are 242 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (71 of them authorized for interstate work), and 2,923 around Chicago (2,209 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 Chicago.
Georgetown has a population of about 106,907 and Chicago about 2.7 million. Chicago is the denser city (12,061 people per square mile versus 1,172 in Georgetown), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Note that Illinois does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.
