Bentonville, AR → Richmond, VA · Long-distance move
About 1,095 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,740–$7,050, delivery in 3–7 days, 57 carriers on the Bentonville side and 400 in Richmond.
The route from Bentonville, AR to Richmond, VA covers roughly 1,095 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 $4,740 to $7,050 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 19 h 35 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 400 around Richmond (215 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 Richmond.
Bentonville has a population of about 60,000 and Richmond about 237,257. Richmond is the denser city (3,783 people per square mile versus 1,528 in Bentonville), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Virginia is a higher-cost state than Arkansas, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 1,095 road miles (928 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 19 h 35 min.
Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 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 Virginia 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 $1,580 to $2,220 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,000 to $2,940. 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–Richmond corridor.
