Reverse: Abilene → Roswell

Moving from Roswell to Abilene is a regional long-distance move of roughly 336 road miles, heading east from New Mexico 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 $2,680 to $3,990 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 6 h 30 min.

On the Roswell side there are 6 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (4 of them authorized for interstate work), and 44 around Abilene (14 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 Abilene.

Roswell has a population of about 48,000 and Abilene about 131,588. Roswell is considerably denser (1,629 people per square mile versus 1,173), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. 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 Roswell to Abilene?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,180 to $1,760 for a studio, $1,610 to $2,390 for a one-bedroom, $2,680 to $3,990 for a two-bedroom, $4,290 to $6,380 for a three-bedroom and $5,890 to $8,770 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Abilene from Roswell?

About 336 road miles (285 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 6 h 30 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 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 New Mexico 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 Roswell to Abilene?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $500 to $700 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,320 to $1,940. 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 Roswell–Abilene corridor.
