Reverse: Tempe → Portland

Moving from Portland to Tempe is a long-distance move of roughly 1,196 road miles, heading southeast from Oregon to Arizona.

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 $5,360 to $7,980 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 21 h 19 min.

On the Portland side there are 645 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (474 of them authorized for interstate work), and 886 around Tempe (350 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 Tempe.

Portland has a population of about 635,109 and Tempe about 190,571. The two cities have comparable density (4,888 and 4,526 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Portland to Tempe?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,150 to $3,190 for a studio, $3,220 to $4,790 for a one-bedroom, $5,360 to $7,980 for a two-bedroom, $8,580 to $12,770 for a three-bedroom and $11,800 to $17,560 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Tempe from Portland?

About 1,196 road miles (1,014 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 21 h 19 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Oregon into Arizona 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.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Portland to Tempe?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,680 to $2,370 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,090 to $3,070. 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.

When is the least expensive time to book this move?

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 Portland–Tempe corridor.
