Reverse: Jackson → Amarillo

The route from Amarillo, TX to Jackson, MS covers roughly 821 miles by road, a east-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 $3,890 to $5,780 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 14 h 51 min.

On the Amarillo side there are 82 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (45 of them authorized for interstate work), and 173 around Jackson (113 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 Jackson.

Amarillo has a population of about 205,130 and Jackson about 141,196. Amarillo is considerably denser (1,959 people per square mile versus 1,376), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Labor and living costs run lower in Mississippi than in Texas, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home. Note that Mississippi does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Amarillo to Jackson?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,550 to $2,310 for a studio, $2,330 to $3,470 for a one-bedroom, $3,890 to $5,780 for a two-bedroom, $6,220 to $9,250 for a three-bedroom and $8,550 to $12,720 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Jackson from Amarillo?

About 821 road miles (696 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 14 h 51 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 2 to 5 days after pickup. Carriers give a spread rather than a fixed date because long-distance trucks carry several shipments; a dedicated truck or expedited service shortens the window for an extra fee.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Texas into Mississippi makes this an interstate move, so the carrier must hold active FMCSA operating authority (an MC number) in addition to its USDOT number. The company cards on this page flag which carriers are authorized for interstate work.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Amarillo to Jackson?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,140 to $1,610 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,750 to $2,580. Both save money versus a full-service crew but you do the loading, and container transit can take longer than a mover's delivery window.

When is the least expensive time to book this move?

Rates are highest in summer and around the last days of any month, when demand peaks. Mid-month, mid-week and winter dates are usually quoted below the standard rate. Booking four to eight weeks ahead gives you the widest choice of carriers on the Amarillo–Jackson corridor.
