Peoria, AZ → Chattanooga, TN · Cross-country move
About 1,817 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,270–$9,330, delivery in 5–10 days, 392 carriers on the Peoria side and 241 in Chattanooga.
Chattanooga sits about 1,817 miles east of Peoria, which makes this an interstate relocation from Arizona to Tennessee 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 $6,270 to $9,330 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 5 to 10 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 32 hours (4 driving days).
On the Peoria side there are 392 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (187 of them authorized for interstate work), and 241 around Chattanooga (155 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 Chattanooga.
Peoria has a population of about 200,881 and Chattanooga about 194,144. The two cities have comparable density (1,085 and 1,272 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Tennessee levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 1,817 road miles (1,540 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 32 hours (4 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 5 to 10 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 Arizona into Tennessee 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 $2,620 to $3,690 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,640 to $3,880. 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 Peoria–Chattanooga corridor.
