Jonesboro, AR → Oak Park, IL · Long-distance move
About 528 road miles heading north. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,370–$5,010, delivery in 2–5 days, 42 carriers on the Jonesboro side and 1,244 in Oak Park.
Oak Park sits about 528 miles north of Jonesboro, which makes this an interstate relocation from Arkansas to Illinois 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 $3,370 to $5,010 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 9 h 48 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 1,244 around Oak Park (906 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 Oak Park.
Jonesboro has a population of about 81,000 and Oak Park about 54,000. Oak Park is the denser city (11,613 people per square mile versus 980 in Jonesboro), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Illinois is a higher-cost state than Arkansas, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 528 road miles (447 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 9 h 48 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 Arkansas into Illinois 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 $840 to $1,190 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,490 to $2,190. 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 Jonesboro–Oak Park corridor.
