Raleigh sits about 1,232 miles east of Mesquite, which makes this an interstate relocation from Texas to North Carolina 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 $5,070 to $7,540 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 21 h 57 min.
On the Mesquite side there are 1,504 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (636 of them authorized for interstate work), and 739 around Raleigh (399 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 Raleigh.
Mesquite has a population of about 150,693 and Raleigh about 506,306. The two cities have comparable density (3,095 and 3,179 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Note that North Carolina does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.
