Reverse: Phoenix → Longview

Moving from Longview to Phoenix is a long-distance move of roughly 1,186 road miles, heading west from Texas 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 $5,080 to $7,560 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 21 h 9 min.

On the Longview side there are 89 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (47 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.

Longview has a population of about 82,000 and Phoenix about 1.7 million. Phoenix is the denser city (3,105 people per square mile versus 1,462 in Longview), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Note that Arizona does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Longview to Phoenix?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,030 to $3,030 for a studio, $3,050 to $4,540 for a one-bedroom, $5,080 to $7,560 for a two-bedroom, $8,130 to $12,100 for a three-bedroom and $11,190 to $16,640 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Phoenix from Longview?

About 1,186 road miles (1,005 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 21 h 9 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Texas 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.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Longview to Phoenix?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,670 to $2,360 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,080 to $3,060. 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.

When is the least expensive time to book this move?

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 Longview–Phoenix corridor.
