Avondale, AZ → New Bedford, MA · Cross-country move
About 2,735 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $8,670–$12,900, delivery in 7–14 days, 311 carriers on the Avondale side and 80 in New Bedford.
New Bedford sits about 2,735 miles northeast of Avondale, which makes this an interstate relocation from Arizona to Massachusetts 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 $8,670 to $12,900 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 47 hours (6 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 80 around New Bedford (56 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 New Bedford.
Avondale has a population of about 100,983 and New Bedford about 101,834. New Bedford is the denser city (5,054 people per square mile versus 1,889 in Avondale), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Massachusetts is a higher-cost state than Arizona, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 2,735 road miles (2,318 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 47 hours (6 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 Arizona into Massachusetts 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 $3,860 to $5,450 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,460 to $5,090. 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–New Bedford corridor.
