Arvada sits about 682 miles northeast of Phoenix, which makes this an interstate relocation from Arizona to Colorado that most movers classify as a long-distance 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 $4,030 to $5,990 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 12 h 28 min.
On the Phoenix side there are 1,433 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (623 of them authorized for interstate work), and 521 around Arvada (164 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 Arvada.
Phoenix has a population of about 1.7 million and Arvada about 122,901. The two cities have comparable density (3,105 and 3,198 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.
