Moving from Lewisville to Joliet is a long-distance move of roughly 896 road miles, heading northeast from Texas to Illinois.
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 $4,430 to $6,590 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 16 h 9 min.
On the Lewisville side there are 655 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (262 of them authorized for interstate work), and 694 around Joliet (561 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 Joliet.
Lewisville has a population of about 139,006 and Joliet about 152,241. The two cities have comparable density (3,022 and 2,331 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Note that Illinois does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

Expect a delivery window of 2 to 5 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 Illinois 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 $1,220 to $1,720 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,820 to $2,680. 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 Lewisville–Joliet corridor.
