Moving from Waco to Texarkana is a regional long-distance move of roughly 263 road miles, heading northeast within 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 $2,480 to $3,690 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 5 h 14 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 51 around Texarkana (35 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 Texarkana.

Waco has a population of about 147,788 and Texarkana about 37,000. Waco is considerably denser (1,561 people per square mile versus 1,152), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

Frequently asked questions

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

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,210 to $1,790 for a studio, $1,490 to $2,210 for a one-bedroom, $2,480 to $3,690 for a two-bedroom, $3,960 to $5,900 for a three-bedroom and $5,450 to $8,110 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Texarkana from Waco?

About 263 road miles (223 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 5 h 14 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 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 Waco and Texarkana 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 Waco to Texarkana?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $420 to $590 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,250 to $1,850. 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 Waco–Texarkana corridor.
