Reverse: Irving → Mobile

Irving sits about 640 miles west of Mobile, which makes this an interstate relocation from Alabama 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 $3,510 to $5,220 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 11 h 44 min.

On the Mobile side there are 168 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (103 of them authorized for interstate work), and 2,220 around Irving (881 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 Irving.

Mobile has a population of about 200,824 and Irving about 257,076. Irving is the denser city (3,831 people per square mile versus 1,341 in Mobile), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Texas is a higher-cost state than Alabama, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. Texas levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Mobile to Irving?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,400 to $2,090 for a studio, $2,100 to $3,130 for a one-bedroom, $3,510 to $5,220 for a two-bedroom, $5,610 to $8,350 for a three-bedroom and $7,710 to $11,480 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Irving from Mobile?

About 640 road miles (542 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 11 h 44 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Alabama 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.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Mobile to Irving?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $960 to $1,350 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,590 to $2,340. 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.

When is the least expensive time to book this move?

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 Mobile–Irving corridor.
