Scottsdale, AZ → Hayward, CA · Long-distance move
About 750 road miles heading northwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,540–$6,760, delivery in 2–5 days, 431 carriers on the Scottsdale side and 754 in Hayward.
Hayward sits about 750 miles northwest of Scottsdale, which makes this an interstate relocation from Arizona to California that most movers classify as a long-distance 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 $4,540 to $6,760 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 13 h 38 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 754 around Hayward (242 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 Hayward.
Scottsdale has a population of about 243,006 and Hayward about 157,113. Hayward is the denser city (3,558 people per square mile versus 1,312 in Scottsdale), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. California is a higher-cost state than Arizona, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 750 road miles (636 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 13 h 38 min.
Expect a delivery window of 2 to 5 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 California 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 $1,070 to $1,510 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,690 to $2,480. 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–Hayward corridor.
