Reverse: Waco → Hot Springs

The route from Hot Springs, AR to Waco, TX covers roughly 370 miles by road, a southwest-bound trip that falls into the regional 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 $2,740 to $4,070 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 7 h 5 min.

On the Hot Springs side there are 27 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (14 of them authorized for interstate work), and 121 around Waco (34 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 Waco.

Hot Springs has a population of about 38,000 and Waco about 147,788. Waco is the denser city (1,561 people per square mile versus 1,010 in Hot Springs), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Texas is a higher-cost state than Arkansas, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. Texas levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Hot Springs to Waco?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,160 to $1,720 for a studio, $1,640 to $2,440 for a one-bedroom, $2,740 to $4,070 for a two-bedroom, $4,380 to $6,520 for a three-bedroom and $6,030 to $8,960 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Waco from Hot Springs?

About 370 road miles (314 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 7 h 5 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Arkansas into Texas 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.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Hot Springs to Waco?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $530 to $750 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,350 to $1,990. 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.

When is the least expensive time to book this move?

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 Hot Springs–Waco corridor.
