Bentonville, AR → Corpus Christi, TX · Long-distance move
About 730 road miles heading south. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,720–$5,530, delivery in 2–5 days, 57 carriers on the Bentonville side and 98 in Corpus Christi.
Moving from Bentonville to Corpus Christi is a long-distance move of roughly 730 road miles, heading south from Arkansas to Texas.
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 $3,720 to $5,530 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 13 h 17 min.
On the Bentonville side there are 57 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (43 of them authorized for interstate work), and 98 around Corpus Christi (17 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 Corpus Christi.
Bentonville has a population of about 60,000 and Corpus Christi about 317,247. The two cities have comparable density (1,528 and 1,960 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Texas is a higher-cost state than Arkansas, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. Texas levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 730 road miles (618 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 13 h 17 min.
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 Arkansas into Texas 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 $1,050 to $1,480 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,670 to $2,460. 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 Bentonville–Corpus Christi corridor.
