The route from Raleigh, NC to Carrollton, TX covers roughly 1,248 miles by road, a west-bound trip that falls into the long-distance move category for pricing purposes.
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 $5,110 to $7,600 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 22 h 13 min.
On the Raleigh side there are 739 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (399 of them authorized for interstate work), and 976 around Carrollton (399 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 Carrollton.
Raleigh has a population of about 506,306 and Carrollton about 134,562. The two cities have comparable density (3,179 and 3,636 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Texas levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.
