Glendale, AZ → Columbus, OH · Cross-country move
About 1,969 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,500–$9,680, delivery in 5–10 days, 1,051 carriers on the Glendale side and 854 in Columbus.
Moving from Glendale to Columbus is a cross-country move of roughly 1,969 road miles, heading northeast from Arizona to Ohio.
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 $6,500 to $9,680 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 34 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 854 around Columbus (547 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 Columbus.
Glendale has a population of about 260,572 and Columbus about 938,396. The two cities have comparable density (4,031 and 4,117 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

About 1,969 road miles (1,669 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 34 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 Ohio 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 $2,770 to $3,910 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,780 to $4,080. 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–Columbus corridor.
