Phoenix, AZ → Denver, CO · Long-distance move
About 690 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,050–$6,020, delivery in 2–5 days, 1,433 carriers on the Phoenix side and 1,411 in Denver.
Moving from Phoenix to Denver is a long-distance move of roughly 690 road miles, heading northeast from Arizona to Colorado.
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 $4,050 to $6,020 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 36 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 1,411 around Denver (531 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 Denver.
Phoenix has a population of about 1.7 million and Denver about 740,613. Denver is the denser city (4,674 people per square mile versus 3,105 in Phoenix), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

About 690 road miles (585 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 12 h 36 min.
Expect a delivery window of 2 to 5 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 Colorado 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 $1,010 to $1,420 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,640 to $2,410. 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 Phoenix–Denver corridor.
