Moving Companies in Texarkana, AR
Texarkana sits right on the Arkansas-Texas line, and local moves here are typically billed hourly plus a truck or call-out fee. A studio or one-bedroom generally totals $150 to $450, with a two-person crew running $110 to $135 an hour. A two-bedroom home runs $425 to $800, and a three- or four-bedroom can reach $1,000 to $2,000, with hourly rates scaling up to $170 to $250 or more for a bigger crew. Labor-only help, if you already have a truck or container, generally runs $80 to $95 an hour.
Most local companies add a travel or drive-time charge, often equal to about an extra hour of labor, regardless of how short the actual move is, so ask for this upfront. Packing your own boxes ahead of time also cuts down the billable hours significantly. Always get a written estimate and understand whether it is binding, a fixed price, or non-binding, which can rise if the move runs long.
Because Texarkana straddles two states, double-check that your mover is properly licensed for interstate moves if your new address is across the state line, even for a short drive, since that technically makes it a regulated interstate move rather than a local one. Cash tips of $4 to $6 per mover per hour are standard for good service.

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Miller County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 39% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
