Grand Junction, CO → Buckeye, AZ · Long-distance move
About 533 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,640–$5,410, delivery in 2–5 days, 67 carriers on the Grand Junction side and 87 in Buckeye.
Buckeye sits about 533 miles southwest of Grand Junction, which makes this an interstate relocation from Colorado to Arizona that most movers classify as a long-distance 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 $3,640 to $5,410 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 9 h 53 min.
On the Grand Junction side there are 67 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (30 of them authorized for interstate work), and 87 around Buckeye (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 Buckeye.
Grand Junction has a population of about 70,000 and Buckeye about 125,445. Grand Junction is considerably denser (1,614 people per square mile versus 233), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

About 533 road miles (452 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 9 h 53 min.
Expect a delivery window of 2 to 5 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 Colorado into Arizona 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 $850 to $1,200 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,500 to $2,200. 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 Grand Junction–Buckeye corridor.
