Tempe sits about 1,013 miles west of Arlington, which makes this an interstate relocation from Texas to Arizona that most movers classify as a long-distance 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 $4,650 to $6,930 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 18 h 10 min.
On the Arlington side there are 1,724 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (721 of them authorized for interstate work), and 886 around Tempe (350 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 Tempe.
Arlington has a population of about 402,134 and Tempe about 190,571. The two cities have comparable density (4,111 and 4,526 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Note that Arizona does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.
