The route from Springfield, IL to Alexandria, VA covers roughly 796 miles by road, a east-bound trip that falls into the 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 $4,320 to $6,430 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 14 h 25 min.
On the Springfield side there are 58 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (45 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1,203 around Alexandria (740 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 Alexandria.
Springfield has a population of about 112,989 and Alexandria about 160,662. Alexandria is the denser city (10,702 people per square mile versus 1,872 in Springfield), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.
