Reverse: Texarkana → Springfield

The route from Springfield, IL to Texarkana, TX covers roughly 593 miles by road, a southwest-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 $3,670 to $5,460 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 10 h 55 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 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.

Springfield has a population of about 112,989 and Texarkana about 37,000. Springfield is considerably denser (1,872 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.

Tips for this move

Ask how the delivery window is calculated and what the delay compensation is.
Declutter first: long-haul pricing is by weight, so every hundred pounds you sell or donate saves money.
Check whether a shuttle truck is needed in Texarkana if a 53-foot trailer cannot reach your street.
Keep vehicle titles, passports and prescriptions with you; movers cannot carry some items at all.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Springfield to Texarkana?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,470 to $2,180 for a studio, $2,200 to $3,270 for a one-bedroom, $3,670 to $5,460 for a two-bedroom, $5,870 to $8,730 for a three-bedroom and $8,070 to $12,000 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Texarkana from Springfield?

About 593 road miles (502 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 10 h 55 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

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.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Springfield to Texarkana?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $910 to $1,280 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,550 to $2,280. 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.

When is the least expensive time to book this move?

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 Springfield–Texarkana corridor.
