Reverse: Duluth → Tempe

Moving from Tempe to Duluth is a cross-country move of roughly 1,640 road miles, heading northeast from Arizona to Minnesota.

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 $6,240 to $9,280 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 28 hours (4 driving days).

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 57 around Duluth (26 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 Duluth.

Tempe has a population of about 190,571 and Duluth about 86,000. Tempe is considerably denser (4,526 people per square mile versus 1,210), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

Frequently asked questions

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

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,490 to $3,710 for a studio, $3,740 to $5,570 for a one-bedroom, $6,240 to $9,280 for a two-bedroom, $9,980 to $14,840 for a three-bedroom and $13,720 to $20,410 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Duluth from Tempe?

About 1,640 road miles (1,389 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 28 hours (4 driving days).

How long will the movers take to deliver?

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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Arizona into Minnesota 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 Duluth?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $2,290 to $3,230 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,480 to $3,650. 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–Duluth corridor.
