Reverse: Midland → Montgomery

Moving from Montgomery to Midland is a long-distance move of roughly 1,093 road miles, heading west from Alabama to Texas.

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 $4,560 to $6,790 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 19 h 33 min.

On the Montgomery side there are 172 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (94 of them authorized for interstate work), and 94 around Midland (46 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 Midland.

Montgomery has a population of about 195,300 and Midland about 147,615. Midland is the denser city (1,755 people per square mile versus 1,255 in Montgomery), 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 Montgomery to Midland?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,820 to $2,720 for a studio, $2,740 to $4,070 for a one-bedroom, $4,560 to $6,790 for a two-bedroom, $7,300 to $10,860 for a three-bedroom and $10,040 to $14,930 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Midland from Montgomery?

About 1,093 road miles (926 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 19 h 33 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 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 Montgomery to Midland?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,570 to $2,220 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,000 to $2,930. 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 Montgomery–Midland corridor.
