High Point, NC → Jonesboro, AR · Long-distance move
About 705 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,640–$5,410, delivery in 2–5 days, 274 carriers on the High Point side and 42 in Jonesboro.
Jonesboro sits about 705 miles west of High Point, which makes this an interstate relocation from North Carolina to Arkansas that most movers classify as a long-distance move.
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 $3,640 to $5,410 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 12 h 51 min.
On the High Point side there are 274 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (195 of them authorized for interstate work), and 42 around Jonesboro (29 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 Jonesboro.
High Point has a population of about 120,571 and Jonesboro about 81,000. High Point is considerably denser (2,022 people per square mile versus 980), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

About 705 road miles (598 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 12 h 51 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 North Carolina 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 $1,020 to $1,450 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,650 to $2,430. 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 High Point–Jonesboro corridor.
