About 1,005 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,640–$6,900, delivery in 3–7 days, 1,051 carriers on the Glendale side and 869 in San Antonio.
The route from Glendale, AZ to San Antonio, TX covers roughly 1,005 miles by road, a east-bound trip that falls into the long-distance move category for pricing purposes.
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 $4,640 to $6,900 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 18 h 2 min.
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 869 around San Antonio (274 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 San Antonio.
Glendale has a population of about 260,572 and San Antonio about 1.5 million. Glendale is considerably denser (4,031 people per square mile versus 2,876), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Texas levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 1,005 road miles (852 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 18 h 2 min.
Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 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 Texas 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 $1,480 to $2,090 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,920 to $2,820. 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–San Antonio corridor.
