Scottsdale, AZ → Ann Arbor, MI · Cross-country move
About 1,928 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,510–$9,680, delivery in 5–10 days, 431 carriers on the Scottsdale side and 229 in Ann Arbor.
Ann Arbor sits about 1,928 miles northeast of Scottsdale, which makes this an interstate relocation from Arizona to Michigan 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 $6,510 to $9,680 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 33 hours (4 driving days).
On the Scottsdale side there are 431 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (174 of them authorized for interstate work), and 229 around Ann Arbor (112 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 Ann Arbor.
Scottsdale has a population of about 243,006 and Ann Arbor about 122,233. Ann Arbor is the denser city (4,392 people per square mile versus 1,312 in Scottsdale), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

About 1,928 road miles (1,634 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 33 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 Arizona into Michigan 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 $2,730 to $3,860 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,740 to $4,030. 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 Scottsdale–Ann Arbor corridor.
