The route from Arlington, TX to Newport News, VA covers roughly 1,420 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 $5,750 to $8,550 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 25 hours (3 driving days).

On the Arlington side there are 1,724 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (721 of them authorized for interstate work), and 168 around Newport News (89 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 Newport News.

Arlington has a population of about 402,134 and Newport News about 183,230. Arlington is considerably denser (4,111 people per square mile versus 2,699), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Note that Virginia does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.
