Pasadena, TX → Tyler, TX · Regional long-distance move
About 217 road miles heading north. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,310–$3,440, delivery in 1–2 days, 487 carriers on the Pasadena side and 153 in Tyler.
Moving from Pasadena to Tyler is a regional long-distance move of roughly 217 road miles, heading north within 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 $2,310 to $3,440 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 2 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 4 h 27 min.
On the Pasadena side there are 487 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (212 of them authorized for interstate work), and 153 around Tyler (66 interstate). For an in-state 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 Tyler.
Pasadena has a population of about 148,539 and Tyler about 113,723. Pasadena is considerably denser (3,477 people per square mile versus 1,843), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

About 217 road miles (184 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 4 h 27 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 2 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.
No. Because both Pasadena and Tyler are in Texas, this is an intrastate move regulated by the state rather than the FMCSA. Still, choosing a carrier with an active USDOT number is the easiest way to confirm the company is a registered motor carrier with insurance on file.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $370 to $530 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,210 to $1,780. 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 Pasadena–Tyler corridor.
