Glendale, AZ → Carbondale, IL · Cross-country move
About 1,556 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,160–$9,160, delivery in 5–10 days, 1,051 carriers on the Glendale side and 34 in Carbondale.
Moving from Glendale to Carbondale is a cross-country move of roughly 1,556 road miles, heading east from Arizona to Illinois.
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 $6,160 to $9,160 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 27 hours (4 driving days).
On the Glendale side there are 1,051 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (452 of them authorized for interstate work), and 34 around Carbondale (24 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 Carbondale.
Glendale has a population of about 260,572 and Carbondale about 22,000. Glendale is considerably denser (4,031 people per square mile versus 1,435), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

About 1,556 road miles (1,318 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 27 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 Illinois 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 $2,200 to $3,100 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,410 to $3,540. 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–Carbondale corridor.
