BestMovers.info does not hold a measured lane price for Minneapolis to Phoenix. The available full-service two-bedroom estimate is $2,900–$6,800 for moves in the Arizona destination-state scope, not a figure derived for this 1,642-mile lane.

How long does a move from Minneapolis to Phoenix take?

A move from Minneapolis to Phoenix covers about 1,642 miles, roughly 30 hours of driving, and carriers typically quote 5 to 11 days between pickup and delivery. The spread exists because interstate household goods travel on a delivery spread rather than a fixed date: the carrier commits to a window, and consolidated loads with several households on one trailer sit at the wider end of it. The driving figure is the vehicle time for the Minneapolis to Phoenix distance, not the delivery promise.

Who regulates a move from Minneapolis to Phoenix?

A household goods move from Minneapolis to Phoenix crosses a state line, so it is an interstate move regulated federally by the FMCSA: the carrier must hold active USDOT registration and interstate operating authority, and the consumer protections in Protect Your Move apply to the shipment end to end.

The pickup end is governed by Minnesota rules: work performed entirely inside Minnesota before the shipment crosses the state line sits with Minnesota Department of Transportation, Office of Freight and Commercial Vehicle Operations. The delivery end is governed by Arizona rules: work performed entirely inside Arizona after the shipment arrives, including shuttle and storage-in-transit legs, sits with Arizona Department of Public Safety, Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Task Force, Household Goods Enforcement. Neither state agency sets the price of the Minneapolis to Phoenix leg itself.

Movers from Minneapolis to Phoenix: who is based at each end?

These are active household-goods registrants whose federal census physical address is in the named city itself, not merely the state. Each end shows up to three, earliest registration date first, with legal name as the tie-breaker. Where the census holds fewer than three in a city, fewer are shown, and where it holds none, that end is not listed. This is not a ranking or a finding that a registrant serves this lane.
