Providence, RI → Bullhead City, AZ · Cross-country move
About 2,777 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $8,270–$12,310, delivery in 7–14 days, 330 carriers on the Providence side and 10 in Bullhead City.
Moving from Providence to Bullhead City is a cross-country move of roughly 2,777 road miles, heading west from Rhode Island 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 $8,270 to $12,310 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 48 hours (6 driving days).
On the Providence side there are 330 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (253 of them authorized for interstate work), and 10 around Bullhead City (8 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 Bullhead City.
Providence has a population of about 195,310 and Bullhead City about 42,000. Providence is considerably denser (10,377 people per square mile versus 696), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

About 2,777 road miles (2,353 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 48 hours (6 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 7 to 14 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 Rhode Island 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.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $3,900 to $5,510 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,500 to $5,140. 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 Providence–Bullhead City corridor.
