Reverse: Grand Junction → Scottsdale

Moving from Scottsdale to Grand Junction is a regional long-distance move of roughly 491 road miles, heading northeast from Arizona to Colorado.

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 $3,520 to $5,230 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 9 h 10 min.

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 67 around Grand Junction (30 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 Grand Junction.

Scottsdale has a population of about 243,006 and Grand Junction about 70,000. The two cities have comparable density (1,312 and 1,614 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 Scottsdale to Grand Junction?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,410 to $2,090 for a studio, $2,110 to $3,140 for a one-bedroom, $3,520 to $5,230 for a two-bedroom, $5,630 to $8,370 for a three-bedroom and $7,740 to $11,510 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Grand Junction from Scottsdale?

About 491 road miles (416 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 9 h 10 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Arizona into Colorado 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 Scottsdale to Grand Junction?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $800 to $1,140 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,460 to $2,140. 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.

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 Scottsdale–Grand Junction corridor.
