Monroe, LA → Surprise, AZ · Long-distance move
About 1,393 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,460–$8,120, delivery in 3–7 days, 49 carriers on the Monroe side and 435 in Surprise.
Moving from Monroe to Surprise is a long-distance move of roughly 1,393 road miles, heading west from Louisiana 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 $5,460 to $8,120 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 24 hours (3 driving days).
On the Monroe side there are 49 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (26 of them authorized for interstate work), and 435 around Surprise (213 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 Surprise.
Monroe has a population of about 46,000 and Surprise about 175,304. The two cities have comparable density (1,604 and 1,298 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Arizona is a higher-cost state than Louisiana, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 1,393 road miles (1,180 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 24 hours (3 driving days).
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.
Yes. Crossing from Louisiana 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 $2,030 to $2,870 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,260 to $3,330. 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 Monroe–Surprise corridor.
