  • Winter moves here are part of ordinary migration into the state. This page does not publish a separate snowbird count.
  • A campus in this city can limit where a car-carrier truck stops. The driver often meets you off campus.

As of 2026-11-09. RideShipper estimate, updated 2026-11-09, based on 3,588 prices that customers reported paying in MoveAdvisor reviews, adjusted for U.S. diesel at $6.13 a gallon for that week (U.S. Energy Information Administration). In testing, the typical difference between an estimate and a reported price was about 20% of the estimate. This is an estimate, not a quote: the carrier sets the price. No pickup date was supplied, so this estimate uses November 2026. There is no seasonal direction adjustment for this route and month.

Checked facts

Yards, campuses, and winter inflows

IAA lists a Phoenix branch with yard hours Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Mountain. That is the operator confirmed here. The auction area is the page for the metro. College Navigator lists Fall 2024 student populations of 113,257 at Grand Canyon University and 111,248 at University of Phoenix-Arizona, both in Phoenix. No out-of-state share is stated. The winter page covers Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa, and Tempe. Census ACS 2024 estimates 52,383 people now in Arizona who lived in California a year earlier (margin of error 6,890). Illinois, the largest Midwest inflow, is 9,445 (margin of error 2,340). That is not a snowbird count.

City pairs on this site's list

This site's route list shows Phoenix pairs with Seattle, Dallas, Chicago, and Los Angeles among the higher signals. Phoenix to Los Angeles is one of them. Those rows are not Census city flows. A house the trailer cannot enter needs a meeting point. A yard car needs a release during posted hours. Registration stays on the Arizona page.

What the dust system does not cover

The Picacho system is one 10-mile piece of I-10. ADOT says monsoon dust and floods can still close other highways from June through September. An open trailer follows that weather. University of Phoenix-Arizona and Grand Canyon are both Phoenix records. Confirm which campus address the driver should use. A digital or multi-site school is not automatically a dorm parking lot.
