Reverse: Little Rock → Scottsdale

Moving from Scottsdale to Little Rock is a long-distance move of roughly 1,316 road miles, heading east from Arizona to Arkansas.

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 $5,190 to $7,720 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 23 h 23 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 165 around Little Rock (104 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 Little Rock.

Scottsdale has a population of about 243,006 and Little Rock about 206,427. The two cities have comparable density (1,312 and 1,688 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Labor and living costs run lower in Arkansas than in Arizona, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Scottsdale to Little Rock?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,080 to $3,090 for a studio, $3,110 to $4,630 for a one-bedroom, $5,190 to $7,720 for a two-bedroom, $8,300 to $12,360 for a three-bedroom and $11,420 to $16,990 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Little Rock from Scottsdale?

About 1,316 road miles (1,115 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 23 h 23 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 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 Arkansas 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 Little Rock?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,800 to $2,540 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,190 to $3,230. 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–Little Rock corridor.
