Reverse: Allen → Tempe

Moving from Tempe to Allen is a long-distance move of roughly 1,040 road miles, heading east from Arizona to Texas.

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 $4,720 to $7,030 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 18 h 38 min.

On the Tempe side there are 886 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (350 of them authorized for interstate work), and 680 around Allen (290 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 Allen.

Tempe has a population of about 190,571 and Allen about 113,447. The two cities have comparable density (4,526 and 3,963 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Texas levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Tempe to Allen?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,890 to $2,810 for a studio, $2,830 to $4,220 for a one-bedroom, $4,720 to $7,030 for a two-bedroom, $7,560 to $11,240 for a three-bedroom and $10,390 to $15,460 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Allen from Tempe?

About 1,040 road miles (881 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 18 h 38 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 Texas 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 Tempe to Allen?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,520 to $2,140 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,950 to $2,870. 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 Tempe–Allen corridor.
