Peoria, AZ → Ocean City, MD · Cross-country move
About 2,465 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $7,830–$11,650, delivery in 7–14 days, 392 carriers on the Peoria side and 103 in Ocean City.
Moving from Peoria to Ocean City is a cross-country move of roughly 2,465 road miles, heading east from Arizona to Maryland.
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 $7,830 to $11,650 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 43 hours (5 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 103 around Ocean City (70 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 Ocean City.
Peoria has a population of about 200,881 and Ocean City about 7,000. Ocean City is the denser city (1,510 people per square mile versus 1,085 in Peoria), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Maryland is a higher-cost state than Arizona, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 2,465 road miles (2,089 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 43 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 Arizona into Maryland 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 $3,430 to $4,850 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,220 to $4,740. 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–Ocean City corridor.
