The route from Texarkana, TX to Arlington, TX covers roughly 216 miles by road, a west-bound trip that falls into the regional 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 $2,310 to $3,440 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 2 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 4 h 25 min.

On the Texarkana side there are 51 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (35 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1,724 around Arlington (721 interstate). For an in-state 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 Arlington.

Texarkana has a population of about 37,000 and Arlington about 402,134. Arlington is the denser city (4,111 people per square mile versus 1,152 in Texarkana), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

Frequently asked questions

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

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,210 to $1,790 for a studio, $1,390 to $2,060 for a one-bedroom, $2,310 to $3,440 for a two-bedroom, $3,700 to $5,500 for a three-bedroom and $5,080 to $7,560 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Arlington from Texarkana?

About 216 road miles (183 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 4 h 25 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 1 to 2 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.

Do I need an interstate-licensed mover for an in-state move?

No. Because both Texarkana and Arlington are in Texas, this is an intrastate move regulated by the state rather than the FMCSA. Still, choosing a carrier with an active USDOT number is the easiest way to confirm the company is a registered motor carrier with insurance on file.

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

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $370 to $520 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,210 to $1,780. 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 Texarkana–Arlington corridor.
