Bentonville, AR → North Charleston, SC · Long-distance move
About 990 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,250–$6,330, delivery in 2–5 days, 57 carriers on the Bentonville side and 269 in North Charleston.
The route from Bentonville, AR to North Charleston, SC covers roughly 990 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 $4,250 to $6,330 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 17 h 46 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 269 around North Charleston (136 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 North Charleston.
Bentonville has a population of about 60,000 and North Charleston about 129,245. The two cities have comparable density (1,528 and 1,480 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

About 990 road miles (839 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 17 h 46 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 South Carolina 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 $1,470 to $2,070 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,900 to $2,800. 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–North Charleston corridor.
