Glendale, CA → Bullhead City, AZ · Regional long-distance move
About 259 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,850–$4,240, delivery in 1–3 days, 1,585 carriers on the Glendale side and 10 in Bullhead City.
Moving from Glendale to Bullhead City is a regional long-distance move of roughly 259 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 $2,850 to $4,240 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 5 h 10 min.
On the Glendale side there are 1,585 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (649 of them authorized for interstate work), and 10 around Bullhead City (8 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 Bullhead City.
Glendale has a population of about 187,160 and Bullhead City about 42,000. Glendale is considerably denser (6,444 people per square mile versus 696), 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 259 road miles (220 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 5 h 10 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 $420 to $590 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,250 to $1,840. 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 Glendale–Bullhead City corridor.
