Peoria, IL → Mesquite, TX · Long-distance move
About 794 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,170–$6,210, delivery in 2–5 days, 42 carriers on the Peoria side and 1,504 in Mesquite.
Mesquite sits about 794 miles southwest of Peoria, which makes this an interstate relocation from Illinois 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 $4,170 to $6,210 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 14 h 23 min.
On the Peoria side there are 42 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (29 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1,504 around Mesquite (636 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 Mesquite.
Peoria has a population of about 110,920 and Mesquite about 150,693. Mesquite is the denser city (3,095 people per square mile versus 2,357 in Peoria), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Texas levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 794 road miles (673 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 14 h 23 min.
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.
Yes. Crossing from Illinois 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.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,120 to $1,580 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,730 to $2,540. 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 Peoria–Mesquite corridor.
