The route from Jonesboro, AR to Murfreesboro, TN covers roughly 281 miles by road, a east-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 $2,400 to $3,570 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 5 h 33 min.

On the Jonesboro side there are 42 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (29 of them authorized for interstate work), and 282 around Murfreesboro (182 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 Murfreesboro.

Jonesboro has a population of about 81,000 and Murfreesboro about 171,178. Murfreesboro is the denser city (2,429 people per square mile versus 980 in Jonesboro), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Tennessee levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

Tips for this move

Ask whether the carrier will use one truck end to end or transfer your goods at a terminal.
Weigh the cost of full-value protection against the released-value default of 60 cents per pound.
Book four to six weeks out for summer dates on the Jonesboro–Murfreesboro corridor.
Photograph high-value items before loading and keep the inventory sheet the crew gives you.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Jonesboro to Murfreesboro?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,140 to $1,690 for a studio, $1,440 to $2,140 for a one-bedroom, $2,400 to $3,570 for a two-bedroom, $3,840 to $5,710 for a three-bedroom and $5,280 to $7,850 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Murfreesboro from Jonesboro?

About 281 road miles (238 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 5 h 33 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 Tennessee 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 Jonesboro to Murfreesboro?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $440 to $620 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,270 to $1,870. 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 Jonesboro–Murfreesboro corridor.
