Morristown, NJ → Goodyear, AZ · Cross-country move
About 2,521 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $8,110–$12,070, delivery in 7–14 days, 168 carriers on the Morristown side and 201 in Goodyear.
Moving from Morristown to Goodyear is a cross-country move of roughly 2,521 road miles, heading west from New Jersey 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 $8,110 to $12,070 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 44 hours (5 driving days).
On the Morristown side there are 168 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (119 of them authorized for interstate work), and 201 around Goodyear (97 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 Goodyear.
Morristown has a population of about 20,000 and Goodyear about 125,359. Morristown is considerably denser (7,008 people per square mile versus 498), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Labor and living costs run lower in Arizona than in New Jersey, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

About 2,521 road miles (2,136 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 44 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 New Jersey 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 $3,490 to $4,930 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,270 to $4,810. 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 Morristown–Goodyear corridor.
