Suffolk, VA → Dallas, TX · Long-distance move
About 1,383 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,660–$8,420, delivery in 3–7 days, 101 carriers on the Suffolk side and 3,665 in Dallas.
Moving from Suffolk to Dallas is a long-distance move of roughly 1,383 road miles, heading west from Virginia 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 $5,660 to $8,420 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 24 hours (3 driving days).
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 3,665 around Dallas (1,566 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 Dallas.
Suffolk has a population of about 104,699 and Dallas about 1.3 million. Dallas is the denser city (3,841 people per square mile versus 236 in Suffolk), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Texas levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 1,383 road miles (1,172 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 24 hours (3 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 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 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 $2,020 to $2,850 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,250 to $3,320. 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–Dallas corridor.
