Peoria, IL → Texarkana, TX · Long-distance move
About 662 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,840–$5,710, delivery in 2–5 days, 42 carriers on the Peoria side and 51 in Texarkana.
Moving from Peoria to Texarkana is a long-distance move of roughly 662 road miles, heading southwest from Illinois 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 $3,840 to $5,710 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 12 h 7 min.
On the Peoria side there are 42 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (29 of them authorized for interstate work), and 51 around Texarkana (35 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 Texarkana.
Peoria has a population of about 110,920 and Texarkana about 37,000. Peoria is considerably denser (2,357 people per square mile versus 1,152), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Texas levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 662 road miles (561 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 12 h 7 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 Illinois 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 $980 to $1,380 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,610 to $2,370. 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 Peoria–Texarkana corridor.
