Fontana, CA → Goodyear, AZ · Regional long-distance move
About 353 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,240–$4,820, delivery in 1–3 days, 1,173 carriers on the Fontana side and 201 in Goodyear.
Moving from Fontana to Goodyear is a regional long-distance move of roughly 353 road miles, heading east from California 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 $3,240 to $4,820 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 6 h 47 min.
On the Fontana side there are 1,173 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (642 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.
Fontana has a population of about 221,223 and Goodyear about 125,359. Fontana is considerably denser (4,835 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. Labor and living costs run lower in Arizona than in California, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

About 353 road miles (299 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 6 h 47 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 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 California 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 $510 to $720 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,340 to $1,960. 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 Fontana–Goodyear corridor.
