The route from Newport News, VA to Arlington, VA covers roughly 152 miles by road, a north-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 $2,230 to $3,320 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 2 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 3 h 19 min.
On the Newport News side there are 168 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (89 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1,290 around Arlington (809 interstate). For an in-state 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.
Newport News has a population of about 183,230 and Arlington about 240,000. Arlington is the denser city (9,180 people per square mile versus 2,699 in Newport News), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.
