Glendale, AZ → Rochester, NY · Cross-country move
About 2,326 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $8,030–$11,940, delivery in 7–14 days, 1,051 carriers on the Glendale side and 306 in Rochester.
Moving from Glendale to Rochester is a cross-country move of roughly 2,326 road miles, heading northeast from Arizona to New York.
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 $8,030 to $11,940 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 40 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 306 around Rochester (95 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 Rochester.
Glendale has a population of about 260,572 and Rochester about 206,108. Rochester is the denser city (5,903 people per square mile versus 4,031 in Glendale), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. New York is a higher-cost state than Arizona, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 2,326 road miles (1,972 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 40 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 New York 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 $3,290 to $4,640 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,100 to $4,550. 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–Rochester corridor.
