Bloomington, IL → Mesa, AZ · Cross-country move
About 1,585 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,210–$9,230, delivery in 5–10 days, 31 carriers on the Bloomington side and 834 in Mesa.
Moving from Bloomington to Mesa is a cross-country move of roughly 1,585 road miles, heading west from Illinois 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 $6,210 to $9,230 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 28 hours (4 driving days).
On the Bloomington side there are 31 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (20 of them authorized for interstate work), and 834 around Mesa (331 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 Mesa.
Bloomington has a population of about 79,000 and Mesa about 513,656. The two cities have comparable density (2,902 and 3,636 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

About 1,585 road miles (1,343 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 28 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 Illinois 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 $2,230 to $3,150 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,430 to $3,580. 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 Bloomington–Mesa corridor.
