Rochester, MN → Bullhead City, AZ · Cross-country move
About 1,558 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,100–$9,080, delivery in 5–10 days, 116 carriers on the Rochester side and 10 in Bullhead City.
Bullhead City sits about 1,558 miles west of Rochester, which makes this an interstate relocation from Minnesota to Arizona 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 $6,100 to $9,080 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 5 to 10 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 27 hours (4 driving days).
On the Rochester side there are 116 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (72 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.
Rochester has a population of about 124,292 and Bullhead City about 42,000. Rochester is considerably denser (2,187 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 1,558 road miles (1,321 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 27 hours (4 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 5 to 10 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 Minnesota 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 $2,200 to $3,110 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,410 to $3,540. 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 Rochester–Bullhead City corridor.
