Marietta, GA → Allen, TX · Long-distance move
About 827 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,110–$6,110, delivery in 2–5 days, 801 carriers on the Marietta side and 680 in Allen.
Allen sits about 827 miles west of Marietta, which makes this an interstate relocation from Georgia 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 $4,110 to $6,110 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 14 h 58 min.
On the Marietta side there are 801 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (372 of them authorized for interstate work), and 680 around Allen (290 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 Allen.
Marietta has a population of about 62,000 and Allen about 113,447. Allen is the denser city (3,963 people per square mile versus 2,594 in Marietta), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Texas levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

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 Georgia into Texas 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 $1,150 to $1,620 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,760 to $2,590. 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 Marietta–Allen corridor.
