The route from Peoria, AZ to Lake Charles, LA covers roughly 1,350 miles by road, a east-bound trip that falls into the 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 $5,350 to $7,970 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 23 h 59 min.
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 25 around Lake Charles (18 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 Lake Charles.
Peoria has a population of about 200,881 and Lake Charles about 80,000. Lake Charles is the denser city (1,788 people per square mile versus 1,085 in Peoria), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Labor and living costs run lower in Louisiana than in Arizona, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.
