About 1,722 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,120–$9,110, delivery in 5–10 days, 311 carriers on the Avondale side and 478 in Nashville.
The route from Avondale, AZ to Nashville, TN covers roughly 1,722 miles by road, a east-bound trip that falls into the cross-country move category for pricing purposes.
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 $6,120 to $9,110 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 5 to 10 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 30 hours (4 driving days).
On the Avondale side there are 311 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (138 of them authorized for interstate work), and 478 around Nashville (295 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 Nashville.
Avondale has a population of about 100,983 and Nashville about 721,074. Avondale is considerably denser (1,889 people per square mile versus 1,449), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Tennessee levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 1,722 road miles (1,459 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 30 hours (4 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 5 to 10 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 Arizona into Tennessee 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 $2,370 to $3,350 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,560 to $3,760. 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 Avondale–Nashville corridor.
