Suffolk, VA → Clarksville, TN · Long-distance move
About 700 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,880–$5,770, delivery in 2–5 days, 101 carriers on the Suffolk side and 82 in Clarksville.
Clarksville sits about 700 miles west of Suffolk, which makes this an interstate relocation from Virginia to Tennessee that most movers classify as a long-distance move.
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 $3,880 to $5,770 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 46 min.
On the Suffolk side there are 101 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (62 of them authorized for interstate work), and 82 around Clarksville (55 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 Clarksville.
Suffolk has a population of about 104,699 and Clarksville about 188,829. Clarksville is the denser city (1,677 people per square mile versus 236 in Suffolk), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Labor and living costs run lower in Tennessee than in Virginia, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home. Tennessee levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 700 road miles (594 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 12 h 46 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 Virginia into Tennessee 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 $1,020 to $1,440 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,640 to $2,420. 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 Suffolk–Clarksville corridor.
