Glendale, AZ → Durham, NC · Cross-country move
About 2,228 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,980–$10,380, delivery in 7–14 days, 1,051 carriers on the Glendale side and 338 in Durham.
Durham sits about 2,228 miles east of Glendale, which makes this an interstate relocation from Arizona to North Carolina that most movers classify as a cross-country move.
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 $6,980 to $10,380 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 7 to 14 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 39 hours (5 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 338 around Durham (194 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 Durham.
Glendale has a population of about 260,572 and Durham about 305,561. Glendale is considerably denser (4,031 people per square mile versus 2,513), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

About 2,228 road miles (1,888 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 39 hours (5 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 7 to 14 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 North Carolina 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 $3,040 to $4,290 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,010 to $4,420. 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–Durham corridor.
