Allentown, PA → Goodyear, AZ · Cross-country move
About 2,458 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $7,450–$11,080, delivery in 7–14 days, 424 carriers on the Allentown side and 201 in Goodyear.
Goodyear sits about 2,458 miles west of Allentown, which makes this an interstate relocation from Pennsylvania to Arizona that most movers classify as a cross-country move.
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 $7,450 to $11,080 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 7 to 14 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 43 hours (5 driving days).
On the Allentown side there are 424 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (296 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.
Allentown has a population of about 126,044 and Goodyear about 125,359. Allentown is considerably denser (7,150 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.

About 2,458 road miles (2,083 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 43 hours (5 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 7 to 14 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 Pennsylvania 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 $3,430 to $4,840 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,210 to $4,730. 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 Allentown–Goodyear corridor.
