The route from Abilene, TX to Jonesboro, AR covers roughly 670 miles by road, a northeast-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 $3,580 to $5,320 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 12 h 15 min.
On the Abilene side there are 44 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (14 of them authorized for interstate work), and 42 around Jonesboro (29 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 Jonesboro.
Abilene has a population of about 131,588 and Jonesboro about 81,000. The two cities have comparable density (1,173 and 980 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Labor and living costs run lower in Arkansas than in Texas, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home. Note that Arkansas does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.
