Irving, TX → Ocean City, MD · Cross-country move
About 1,516 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,120–$9,110, delivery in 5–10 days, 2,220 carriers on the Irving side and 103 in Ocean City.
Ocean City sits about 1,516 miles northeast of Irving, which makes this an interstate relocation from Texas to Maryland that most movers classify as a cross-country 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 $6,120 to $9,110 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 5 to 10 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 26 hours (3 driving days).
On the Irving side there are 2,220 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (881 of them authorized for interstate work), and 103 around Ocean City (70 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 Ocean City.
Irving has a population of about 257,076 and Ocean City about 7,000. Irving is considerably denser (3,831 people per square mile versus 1,510), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Maryland is a higher-cost state than Texas, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. Note that Maryland does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 1,516 road miles (1,284 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 26 hours (3 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 5 to 10 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 Texas into Maryland 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 $2,160 to $3,050 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,370 to $3,490. 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 Irving–Ocean City corridor.
