Who makes this move
These are headcounts from the Census ACS, and they do not say why anyone left.
Census counts both ways. In 2024, 9,407 people moved from Maryland to Texas, with a margin of plus or minus 2,767. The reverse flow was larger: 10,467 people moved from Texas to Maryland. These are headcounts from the Census ACS, and they do not say why anyone left.
Price levels differ at each end. BEA price parity for 2024 puts Maryland at 105.0 and Texas at 97.1, with the US set at 100. Maryland taxes wages. Texas does not tax wages. A lower price index and no wage tax in Texas are facts about the two states, not a reason we can assign to any household.
What the job looks like
Of those reviews, 31% mention damage and 17% mention a delay or a no-show.
The common run is long. The most common trip in our file is Barclay to Fort Worth, 1,434 miles and about 26 hours of driving. Days on the road follow the delivery window set on the order for service, not those driving hours alone. A household shipment is priced by weight and miles.
The sample is smaller. This lane has 35 reviews in our file. The median reported price is $3,958 across 35 priced reviews. The middle half runs from $2,400 to $6,908. Those prices mix home sizes and distances.
Damage and delay show up. Of those reviews, 31% mention damage and 17% mention a delay or a no-show. On a long haul the delivery window is the date range on the order, not the driving hours. Read that window before you treat a late truck as a broken promise. See delivery window complaints if the dates slip.
Before you book
On a non-binding estimate the mover must deliver on payment of 110 percent of the estimate.
Check the license before the quote. An interstate household move needs a mover with an active USDOT number and FMCSA household-goods authority. Look the number up in the license lookup before you book. Haulest is not a carrier and does not haul this load.
Get the estimate type in writing. Long-distance moves are priced by weight and miles. Ask whether the figure is binding or a not-to-exceed estimate, and read how to read a moving estimate. On a non-binding estimate the mover must deliver on payment of 110 percent of the estimate. The 110 percent rule is the check on that bill.
Write down the window and the deposit. The delivery window is set on the order for service. Get that range in writing before the truck is loaded. Deposit terms belong on the same page: the amount and when it is due. If those lines are missing, ask for them before you pay.

Ask out loud
Questions people ask

- The Census ACS for 2024 counts 9,407 people moving from Maryland to Texas, with a margin of plus or minus 2,767. The other way was larger, at 10,467 people from Texas to Maryland. Those figures are counts, not a story about why households moved.
- How long is the common Maryland to Texas run?
- The most common run in our file is Barclay to Fort Worth, 1,434 miles and about 26 hours of driving. A household move is not that drive by itself. The delivery window on the order is the arrival range you should plan around.
- What prices show up in reviews for this lane?
- Across 35 priced reviews, the median reported price is $3,958. The middle half of reports falls between $2,400 and $6,908. The sample is smaller, at 35 reviews, and the prices mix home sizes and distances.
- How often do reviews mention damage or a delay?
- Of the 35 reviews, 31% mention damage and 17% mention a delay or a no-show. Treat that as a share of a small file, not a rate for every mover. The sample.
- What should I check before booking an interstate mover?
- Confirm an active USDOT number and FMCSA household-goods authority. Ask for a binding or not-to-exceed estimate, and remember that on a non-binding estimate the mover must deliver on payment of 110 percent of the estimate. Get the delivery window and the deposit terms in writing on the order.
