Busiest lanes
According to Census ACS 2024, the largest estimates of people now in Arkansas who lived in another state a year earlier are Texas, 10,842 (margin of error 2,476), then Missouri and Florida, each 4,434. The margins of error are 1,780 for Missouri and 1,771 for Florida, so those two ranks are not a precise tie in every sample. The largest outbound flow is back to Texas. The route list marks the Texas, Missouri, and Florida pairs as truck lanes. Texas to Arkansas is the busiest of them. The largest cities on the state pages are Little Rock, Fayetteville, Fort Smith, and Springdale.
Where a truck can meet the car
Much of the state is a long drive from a big terminal city. Common practice is to agree a meeting point on a road the driver can use, rather than a narrow residential street. That is an arrangement with the carrier, not a state rule published here. Little Rock Air Force Base is the Air Force installation in Little Rock. Pine Bluff Arsenal is the other installation in the list. Military OneSource says that inside the contiguous United States, transporting a privately owned vehicle is largely the member's responsibility, with exceptions through the transportation office. Do not send the truck to a gate that has not cleared it.
Campus and registration
University of Arkansas in Fayetteville is the large campus in this list, with students shipping a car to school. Ask the school where a carrier may stop. Campus rules change by year and are not restated here. The state revenue department says new residents, and people who recently bought a vehicle, must register within 60 days. A VIN verification is required when an out-of-state title is branded salvage, prior salvage, or a similar designation. A certified city or county law enforcement officer, the Arkansas State Police, or a State Police designee may do it. The tag page does not describe a statewide safety or emissions test for an ordinary car. Steps are on the registration page.
