Aberdeen, SD → Goodyear, AZ · Long-distance move
About 1,322 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,340–$7,950, delivery in 3–7 days, 9 carriers on the Aberdeen side and 201 in Goodyear.
Moving from Aberdeen to Goodyear is a long-distance move of roughly 1,322 road miles, heading southwest from South Dakota to Arizona.
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 $5,340 to $7,950 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 23 h 30 min.
On the Aberdeen side there are 9 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (9 of them authorized for interstate work), and 201 around Goodyear (97 interstate). For an interstate 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 Goodyear.
Aberdeen has a population of about 28,000 and Goodyear about 125,359. Aberdeen is considerably denser (1,725 people per square mile versus 498), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Note that Arizona does collect a state income tax, unlike South Dakota, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 1,322 road miles (1,121 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 23 h 30 min.
Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 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.
Yes. Crossing from South Dakota into Arizona makes this an interstate move, so the carrier must hold active FMCSA operating authority (an MC number) in addition to its USDOT number. The company cards on this page flag which carriers are authorized for interstate work.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,810 to $2,550 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,200 to $3,240. 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.
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 Aberdeen–Goodyear corridor.
