The route from Lubbock, TX to Carbondale, IL covers roughly 904 miles by road, a northeast-bound trip that falls into the long-distance move category for pricing purposes.
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 $4,450 to $6,620 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 17 min.
On the Lubbock side there are 110 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (38 of them authorized for interstate work), and 34 around Carbondale (24 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 Carbondale.
Lubbock has a population of about 273,071 and Carbondale about 22,000. Lubbock is considerably denser (1,910 people per square mile versus 1,435), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Note that Illinois does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.
