Texarkana, TX → Tyler, TX · Short-haul move
About 124 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,990–$2,950, delivery in 1–2 days, 51 carriers on the Texarkana side and 153 in Tyler.
Tyler sits about 124 miles southwest of Texarkana, so this is an in-state move that most movers classify as a short-haul move.
Because the two cities are close together, most companies quote this move by the hour: a crew of two to four movers plus a truck, with the drive of about 2 h 50 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,990 and $2,950, before packing or storage.
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 153 around Tyler (66 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 Tyler.
Texarkana has a population of about 37,000 and Tyler about 113,723. Tyler is the denser city (1,843 people per square mile versus 1,152 in Texarkana), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,210 to $1,790 for a studio, $1,210 to $1,790 for a one-bedroom, $1,990 to $2,950 for a two-bedroom, $3,180 to $4,730 for a three-bedroom and $4,370 to $6,500 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.
About 124 road miles (105 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 2 h 50 min.
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.
No. Because both Texarkana and Tyler 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.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $280 to $390 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,130 to $1,660. 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 Texarkana–Tyler corridor.
