Glendale, AZ → Temecula, CA · Regional long-distance move
About 336 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,170–$4,710, delivery in 1–3 days, 1,051 carriers on the Glendale side and 102 in Temecula.
The route from Glendale, AZ to Temecula, CA covers roughly 336 miles by road, a west-bound trip that falls into the regional 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 $3,170 to $4,710 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 6 h 30 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 102 around Temecula (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 Temecula.
Glendale has a population of about 260,572 and Temecula about 114,865. Glendale is considerably denser (4,031 people per square mile versus 2,949), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. California is a higher-cost state than Arizona, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 336 road miles (285 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 6 h 30 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 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 California 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 $500 to $700 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,320 to $1,940. 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–Temecula corridor.
