Irving, TX → Providence, RI · Cross-country move
About 1,801 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,530–$9,710, delivery in 5–10 days, 2,220 carriers on the Irving side and 330 in Providence.
Moving from Irving to Providence is a cross-country move of roughly 1,801 road miles, heading northeast from Texas to Rhode Island.
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 $6,530 to $9,710 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 31 hours (4 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 330 around Providence (253 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 Providence.
Irving has a population of about 257,076 and Providence about 195,310. Providence is the denser city (10,377 people per square mile versus 3,831 in Irving), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Rhode Island is a higher-cost state than Texas, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. Note that Rhode Island does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 1,801 road miles (1,527 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 31 hours (4 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 Rhode Island 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 $2,600 to $3,670 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,630 to $3,860. 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–Providence corridor.
