Moving from Centerville, TN
Planning a move out of Centerville, TN? Two questions decide almost everything: how far you are actually going, and whether the move crosses the Tennessee line. This page answers both, then prices the lane with the same engine that runs every route guide on this site.

Take Georgia as the short case — about 330 miles from here, a single long day at roughly 6 hr with stops. Even on that lane, the loaded shipment delivers inside a 2–4-day window rather than on a fixed date, so plan the first nights at the other end around the window, not around your own arrival.

What shapes an outbound move from Centerville
Centerville is the only incorporated place the Census records in Hickman County, so an outbound load here is effectively the county's moving market. Carriers route a trailer through the area rather than dispatching one for a single shipment, which is why booking lead time does more for your date than anything else.
Against all 137 Tennessee places, Centerville ranks 114th. At that size an outbound interstate load is consolidated rather than dispatched, so the realistic lever is when you book, not who you book.
Hickman County has added about 3.4% more residents since 2020, roughly 854 people. Steady inbound growth keeps agents busy without saturating them, so outbound dates are generally obtainable with three or four weeks' notice outside the summer peak.
Hickman County is the 58th-largest of Tennessee's 95 counties, with about 0.4% of the state's residents. Outbound loads from counties this size are usually picked up by a carrier routed through the area, so a flexible load date is worth more here than it is in the state's biggest metro.
The largest county bordering Hickman County is Williamson County, with 264,460 residents, larger than this one, so agents based there often cover both. That move stays inside Tennessee and is intrastate.
Hickman County is an interior Tennessee county, bordered by Williamson County, Maury County, Dickson County, and Humphreys County — all inside Tennessee. Every one of those moves is intrastate and governed by Tennessee law; only a shipment that leaves the state crosses into federal territory, which is the line this site is built around.
How far Centerville is from where people move
Measured from Tennessee's population-weighted centre rather than Centerville — this site holds metro coordinates only for its corridor cities, so treat these as corridor-scale figures. The drive column is your car; the delivery window is your furniture, and the two are not the same number.

Licensing
Is your move out of Centerville interstate?
A move that starts and ends inside Tennessee is an intrastate move, governed by Tennessee law rather than by the FMCSA. Different licence, different complaint process, and usually different pricing — intrastate work is commonly billed hourly while interstate work is billed on weight and distance. Verify a mover's state authority with the Tennessee agency that oversees motor carriers before you book, and do not assume a USDOT number alone covers an in-state move.
The moment your shipment crosses the Tennessee state line it is an interstate move under federal law. The carrier must hold active FMCSA operating authority — a USDOT number plus household-goods authority — must give you the federal "Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move" booklet, and must price the move against a published tariff rather than an hourly rate. You can check any USDOT number yourself on the FMCSA SAFER system before you sign anything.

Moving from Centerville: common questions
Georgia is about 330 miles, North Carolina is about 464 miles, and Florida is about 648 miles. Measured from Tennessee's centre rather than from Centerville, because this site holds metro coordinates only for its corridor cities — treat these as corridor-scale figures and confirm door-to-door mileage with your carrier. A loaded interstate shipment on the shortest of those delivers in a 2–4-day window.
Population figures are US Census estimates. Distances are geometric road estimates from this site's documented model, not routed door-to-door mileage. Cost ranges are informational estimates from the published rate model — not quotes or binding estimates.
