Tips for a Smooth
Nashville to Memphis Move
- Book early: The Nashville-to-Memphis route is
popular, especially in summer. Book at least 4–6 weeks in advance for
the best availability. - Declutter before you pack: Donate or sell items you
won’t need in your new Memphis home. The less you move, the less you
pay. - Update your address early: Notify the USPS, your
bank, employer, and Tennessee DMV as soon as your move date is
confirmed. - Plan for your pets: If you’re moving with dogs or
cats, arrange pet-friendly accommodations along the way if needed. - Keep essentials accessible: Pack a “first night”
bag with toiletries, chargers, medications, and a change of clothes so
you don’t have to dig through boxes on arrival night.

Nashville to Memphis Movers — 10 Planning Tips
- Confirm both addresses and access conditions in writing.
- Build a complete inventory before finalizing the quote.
- Identify stairs, elevators, parking limits, and loading restrictions at both ends.
- Separate medication, identification, valuables, chargers, and travel essentials.
- Label boxes by destination room and priority.
- Tell the mover about pianos, safes, oversized furniture, or other specialty items.

Planning the Nashville to Memphis Drive
Nashville to Memphis is about 210 miles on I-40, roughly three and a half hours for a car without traffic and longer for a loaded box truck. The drive itself is straightforward, but the timing at each end decides how the day goes. Leaving Nashville after morning rush hour, especially if the load starts on the west side near I-40 and I-440, gets the truck out of town faster. Arriving in Memphis in the early afternoon usually means easier access in neighborhoods like Midtown, East Memphis and Germantown before evening traffic builds.
Same-day or next-day delivery
Small homes and apartments can often be loaded in the morning and delivered the same day. Larger homes usually load on day one and deliver on day two, so the crew can unload and set up in daylight without rushing. We plan this with you during the walkthrough.
Memphis delivery details
Many Memphis homes in Midtown and East Memphis are older, with tall steps, narrow doors and mature trees over the driveway. Newer neighborhoods in Collierville, Germantown and Bartlett may have HOAs with rules about trucks. Downtown Memphis apartment buildings usually require elevator reservations and certificates of insurance. Send us the details for your destination so the crew arrives ready.
What Moves Best on a Nashville to Memphis Route
- Full homes, with furniture wrapped and loaded in tiers so nothing shifts on the interstate.
- Pianos, safes and art, with written condition notes before they leave Nashville.
- Mirrors and framed art, which can be custom crated for the drive.
- Home offices with desks, files and electronics labeled by room.
Pricing
Nashville to Memphis moves are quoted as one flat rate after a walkthrough in person or by video and confirmed on a call, so the long drive does not turn into an open-ended bill. For short local portions of a move, our hourly rate is $250 per hour for two movers and a truck or $350 per hour for three movers and a truck. JM Moving answers 24/7 at (615) 710-9990.
Nashville to Memphis FAQ
Can you deliver the same day? For smaller homes, often yes; larger homes usually deliver the next morning. Do you move pianos to Memphis? Yes, with a route check at both homes. Can you hold our belongings if the Memphis home is not ready? Yes, we can store them until delivery. Do you move offices to Memphis? Yes, with the same flat-rate approach. Can we see the price before we book? Yes. We confirm the flat rate on a call after the walkthrough, before move day.
Moving the other direction, from Memphis to Nashville? We plan that route the same way, and we can help you choose the right part of Nashville for your commute and schools.
Memphis Neighborhood Delivery Notes
Midtown Memphis neighborhoods like Cooper-Young and Central Gardens have older homes with tall steps and narrow driveways. East Memphis has larger lots and easier access. Germantown and Collierville often have HOA rules about truck parking and moving hours. Downtown and Harbor Town buildings usually need elevator reservations. Tell us your neighborhood and we will plan the truck position and timing.
Moving a student to the University of Memphis or Rhodes College? Small loads like dorm and apartment moves can often be combined into a same-day trip.
