Little Rock, AR → Dallas, TX · Regional long-distance move
About 338 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,630–$3,910, delivery in 1–3 days, 165 carriers on the Little Rock side and 3,665 in Dallas.
Moving from Little Rock to Dallas is a regional long-distance move of roughly 338 road miles, heading southwest from Arkansas to Texas.
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 $2,630 to $3,910 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 6 h 32 min.
On the Little Rock side there are 165 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (104 of them authorized for interstate work), and 3,665 around Dallas (1,566 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 Dallas.
Little Rock has a population of about 206,427 and Dallas about 1.3 million. Dallas is the denser city (3,841 people per square mile versus 1,688 in Little Rock), 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.

About 338 road miles (286 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 6 h 32 min.
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.
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.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $500 to $700 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,320 to $1,940. 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 Little Rock–Dallas corridor.
