Athens sits about 967 miles east of Waco, which makes this an interstate relocation from Texas to Georgia 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 $4,450 to $6,620 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 17 h 22 min.
On the Waco side there are 121 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (34 of them authorized for interstate work), and 312 around Athens (166 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 Athens.
Waco has a population of about 147,788 and Athens about 128,612. Waco is considerably denser (1,561 people per square mile versus 1,095), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Note that Georgia does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.
