Bentonville, AR → Fairbanks, AK · Cross-country move
About 3,442 road miles heading northwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $9,370–$13,950, delivery in 7–14 days, 57 carriers on the Bentonville side and 29 in Fairbanks.
Moving from Bentonville to Fairbanks is a cross-country move of roughly 3,442 road miles, heading northwest from Arkansas to Alaska.
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 $9,370 to $13,950 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 7 to 14 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 60 hours (7 driving days).
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 29 around Fairbanks (4 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 Fairbanks.
Bentonville has a population of about 60,000 and Fairbanks about 32,000. Bentonville is considerably denser (1,528 people per square mile versus 1,024), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Alaska is a higher-cost state than Arkansas, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. Alaska levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 3,442 road miles (2,917 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 60 hours (7 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 7 to 14 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 Alaska 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 $4,740 to $6,690 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $4,090 to $6,020. 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–Fairbanks corridor.
