The route from Tuscaloosa, AL to Abilene, TX covers roughly 838 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 $3,970 to $5,900 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 15 h 9 min.
On the Tuscaloosa side there are 80 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (39 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.
Tuscaloosa has a population of about 114,316 and Abilene about 131,588. Tuscaloosa is considerably denser (1,609 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 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.
