Abilene sits about 567 miles west of Lafayette, which makes this an interstate relocation from Louisiana to Texas that most movers classify as a long-distance 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 $3,390 to $5,040 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 10 h 29 min.
On the Lafayette side there are 91 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (59 of them authorized for interstate work), and 44 around Abilene (14 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 Abilene.
Lafayette has a population of about 123,311 and Abilene about 131,588. Lafayette is considerably denser (2,175 people per square mile versus 1,173), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Texas levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.
