Burbank, CA → Fayetteville, AR · Cross-country move
About 1,614 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,500–$9,670, delivery in 5–10 days, 896 carriers on the Burbank side and 64 in Fayetteville.
Moving from Burbank to Fayetteville is a cross-country move of roughly 1,614 road miles, heading east from California 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 $6,500 to $9,670 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 5 to 10 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 28 hours (4 driving days).
On the Burbank side there are 896 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (350 of them authorized for interstate work), and 64 around Fayetteville (45 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 Fayetteville.
Burbank has a population of about 102,988 and Fayetteville about 106,623. Burbank is considerably denser (6,204 people per square mile versus 1,737), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Labor and living costs run lower in Arkansas than in California, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

About 1,614 road miles (1,368 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 28 hours (4 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 5 to 10 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 California 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 $2,260 to $3,190 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,460 to $3,620. 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 Burbank–Fayetteville corridor.
