Lancaster, CA → Tempe, AZ · Regional long-distance move
About 435 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,570–$5,320, delivery in 1–3 days, 105 carriers on the Lancaster side and 886 in Tempe.
The route from Lancaster, CA to Tempe, AZ covers roughly 435 miles by road, a east-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 $3,570 to $5,320 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 8 h 12 min.
On the Lancaster side there are 105 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (57 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.
Lancaster has a population of about 170,084 and Tempe about 190,571. Tempe is the denser city (4,526 people per square mile versus 1,840 in Lancaster), 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 California, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

About 435 road miles (369 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 8 h 12 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 California 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 $600 to $840 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,410 to $2,070. 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 Lancaster–Tempe corridor.
