Glendale, AZ → Champaign, IL · Cross-country move
About 1,644 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,300–$9,380, delivery in 5–10 days, 1,051 carriers on the Glendale side and 70 in Champaign.
Moving from Glendale to Champaign is a cross-country move of roughly 1,644 road miles, heading northeast 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 $6,300 to $9,380 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 29 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 70 around Champaign (50 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 Champaign.
Glendale has a population of about 260,572 and Champaign about 90,000. The two cities have comparable density (4,031 and 3,835 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

About 1,644 road miles (1,394 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 29 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 $2,290 to $3,230 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,490 to $3,660. 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–Champaign corridor.
