Augusta, GA → Jonesboro, AR · Long-distance move
About 611 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,440–$5,120, delivery in 2–5 days, 200 carriers on the Augusta side and 42 in Jonesboro.
Moving from Augusta to Jonesboro is a long-distance move of roughly 611 road miles, heading west from Georgia to Arkansas.
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 $3,440 to $5,120 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 11 h 14 min.
On the Augusta side there are 200 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (127 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.
Augusta has a population of about 201,999 and Jonesboro about 81,000. Jonesboro is the denser city (980 people per square mile versus 668 in Augusta), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Labor and living costs run lower in Arkansas than in Georgia, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

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.
Yes. Crossing from Georgia into Arkansas 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.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $930 to $1,310 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,570 to $2,300. 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.
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 Augusta–Jonesboro corridor.
