Juneau, AK → Tempe, AZ · Cross-country move
About 2,374 road miles heading southeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $8,040–$11,960, delivery in 7–14 days, 7 carriers on the Juneau side and 886 in Tempe.
Tempe sits about 2,374 miles southeast of Juneau, which makes this an interstate relocation from Alaska to Arizona that most movers classify as a cross-country 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 $8,040 to $11,960 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 41 hours (5 driving days).
On the Juneau side there are 7 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (1 of them authorized for interstate work), and 886 around Tempe (350 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 Tempe.
Juneau has a population of about 32,000 and Tempe about 190,571. Tempe is the denser city (4,526 people per square mile versus 12 in Juneau), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Labor and living costs run lower in Arizona than in Alaska, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home. Note that Arizona does collect a state income tax, unlike Alaska, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 2,374 road miles (2,012 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 41 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 Alaska 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 $3,340 to $4,710 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,140 to $4,620. 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 Juneau–Tempe corridor.
