The route
A genuine long haul at 1,872 miles from South Carolina to Texas. Almost all of these move as consolidated freight: your goods share a trailer and the carrier quotes 7 to 14 days rather than a date. It is why a two-bedroom home here runs $8,424 – $11,232 instead of scaling straight with distance, and also why there is more handling and a looser schedule.

How these figures are calculated
At the El Paso end

Rules that apply to this move
Because the truck crosses from South Carolina into Texas, 49 CFR Part 375 applies: a written estimate before loading, no more than 110% of a non-binding estimate collected at delivery, and full-value protection unless you choose released value in writing. See binding vs non-binding estimates and valuation explained.
Before you book Myrtle Beach to El Paso
Insist on a survey
Over 1,872 miles the price is driven almost entirely by weight. A quote given without a video or in-home survey is a guess that gets revised upward on loading day, and at this distance the revision is expensive.
Keep full-value protection
It is the default on an interstate move. Signing it away for released value means 60 cents per pound, about $18 for a 30 lb television, after 1,872 miles of handling.
Arriving in El Paso
A local move inside El Paso later — across town, out of temporary housing — is billed by the hour: about $445 – $733 for a two-bedroom home and $741 – $1,344 for three bedrooms. The nearest cities we cover from El Paso are Las Cruces (about 49 mi), Albuquerque (about 268 mi), Tucson (about 309 mi).
