Fort Lauderdale sits about 2,328 miles east of Phoenix, which makes this an interstate relocation from Arizona to Florida 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 $7,310 to $10,880 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 40 hours (5 driving days).
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 1,841 around Fort Lauderdale (706 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 Fort Lauderdale.
Phoenix has a population of about 1.7 million and Fort Lauderdale about 188,677. Fort Lauderdale is the denser city (5,282 people per square mile versus 3,105 in Phoenix), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Florida levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.
