Moving from Waco to Jonesboro is a long-distance move of roughly 562 road miles, heading northeast from Texas to Arkansas.
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 $3,320 to $4,950 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 23 min.
On the Waco side there are 121 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (34 of them authorized for interstate work), and 42 around Jonesboro (29 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 Jonesboro.
Waco has a population of about 147,788 and Jonesboro about 81,000. Waco is considerably denser (1,561 people per square mile versus 980), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Labor and living costs run lower in Arkansas than in Texas, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home. Note that Arkansas does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.
