Phoenix, AZ → Moreno Valley, CA · Regional long-distance move
About 348 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,220–$4,790, delivery in 1–3 days, 1,433 carriers on the Phoenix side and 861 in Moreno Valley.
Moving from Phoenix to Moreno Valley is a regional long-distance move of roughly 348 road miles, heading west from Arizona to California.
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 $3,220 to $4,790 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 6 h 42 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 861 around Moreno Valley (478 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 Moreno Valley.
Phoenix has a population of about 1.7 million and Moreno Valley about 214,263. Moreno Valley is the denser city (4,067 people per square mile versus 3,105 in Phoenix), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. California is a higher-cost state than Arizona, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 348 road miles (295 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 6 h 42 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 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 California 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 $510 to $720 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,330 to $1,960. 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–Moreno Valley corridor.
