Columbia sits about 1,456 miles east of Midland, which makes this an interstate relocation from Texas to South 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 $5,550 to $8,260 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 25 hours (3 driving days).
On the Midland side there are 94 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (46 of them authorized for interstate work), and 389 around Columbia (223 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 Columbia.
Midland has a population of about 147,615 and Columbia about 147,035. Midland is considerably denser (1,755 people per square mile versus 999), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Note that South Carolina does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.
