Moving from Longview to Arlington is a long-distance move of roughly 1,276 road miles, heading northeast from Texas to Virginia.
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 $5,390 to $8,010 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 22 h 42 min.
On the Longview side there are 89 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (47 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1,290 around Arlington (809 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 Arlington.
Longview has a population of about 82,000 and Arlington about 240,000. Arlington is the denser city (9,180 people per square mile versus 1,462 in Longview), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Note that Virginia does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.
