Moving from Independence to Phoenix is a long-distance move of roughly 1,246 road miles, heading west from Missouri to Arizona.
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 $5,130 to $7,630 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 22 h 11 min.
On the Independence side there are 214 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (159 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1,433 around Phoenix (623 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 Phoenix.
Independence has a population of about 121,675 and Phoenix about 1.7 million. Phoenix is the denser city (3,105 people per square mile versus 1,577 in Independence), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Arizona is a higher-cost state than Missouri, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.
