Irving, TX → Pasadena, TX · Regional long-distance move
About 290 road miles heading southeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,570–$3,830, delivery in 1–3 days, 2,220 carriers on the Irving side and 487 in Pasadena.
Moving from Irving to Pasadena is a regional long-distance move of roughly 290 road miles, heading southeast within 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 $2,570 to $3,830 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 5 h 42 min.
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 487 around Pasadena (212 interstate). For an in-state 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 Pasadena.
Irving has a population of about 257,076 and Pasadena about 148,539. The two cities have comparable density (3,831 and 3,477 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

About 290 road miles (246 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 5 h 42 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 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.
No. Because both Irving and Pasadena are in Texas, this is an intrastate move regulated by the state rather than the FMCSA. Still, choosing a carrier with an active USDOT number is the easiest way to confirm the company is a registered motor carrier with insurance on file.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $450 to $630 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,280 to $1,880. 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–Pasadena corridor.
