Live numbers: US on-highway diesel $6.28 per gallon for the week of 2026-10-19 (EIA weekly US on-highway diesel (Gasoline and Diesel Fuel Update)). A fuel surcharge on a long lane follows the diesel line; ask how the mover sets it.

“I recently moved across the country with Northern Moving Systems, and the experience couldn’t have been better. The movers arrived right on time, packed everything carefully, and handled my fragile items with extra attention. Their free 30-day storage gave me the flexibility I needed before moving…”

“These movers treated my easels and canvases like priceless treasures when I had to move my painting studio at the last minute. To prevent leaks, they bundled my paint containers and wrapped my brushes securely. They also helped me rearrange my workspace once we arrived. Very thoughtful!”

“HORRIBLE! DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY! They're a broker out of Florida that will NOT help you if there's any problems with who they book you with. They talk a great game until you've paid and then drop you completely. They'll book you with another moving who is absolute crap: Loadrans.…”
Who makes this move
the parity figures are statewide indexes, not a bill for your neighborhood
Census counted both directions. In 2024, 2,936 people moved from Arizona to New York, with a margin of plus or minus 1,141. The reverse count in that file is 5,077 people who moved from New York to Arizona. Those are household-person counts from the ACS, not bookings, and they do not say why anyone packed a truck.
Prices and wage tax at each end. BEA price parity for 2024 puts Arizona at 100.7 and New York at 107.9, with the US set at 100. Both states tax wages. This page does not quote a rate, and the parity figures are statewide indexes, not a bill for your neighborhood or your new apartment.
What the job looks like
Prices mix home sizes and distances.
The common run is long. The most common trip in our file is Phoenix to New York, 2,411 miles, about 44 hours of driving. That is a multi-day haul for a household shipment, and the delivery date is a window written on the order for service, not a promise of a single hour.
Price is weight and miles. Long-distance moves are priced by weight and miles, so the same map can still produce different bills. Across 18 priced reviews the median reported price was $3,788, and the middle half ran from $2,700 to $4,321. Prices mix home sizes and distances.
Damage and delay show up. We have 18 reviews for this run, a small sample, so treat the rates as a hint. Of those reviews, 28% mention damage and 22% mention a delay or a no-show. If the truck slips the window, the written order for service is the paper that matters.
Before you book
An estimate you did not read is just a number with a logo on it.
Check the license before the deposit. Interstate household moves need a mover with an active USDOT number and FMCSA household-goods authority. Haulest is not a carrier and does not book the truck. Look the number up on the license check before any money leaves your account.
Read the estimate type. Ask whether the price is binding or not-to-exceed, and read how to read a moving estimate before you sign. On a non-binding estimate the mover must deliver on payment of 110 percent of the estimate, which is the 110 percent rule. Get the delivery window in writing on the order for service.
Deposit terms and the window. Deposit rules belong in the contract, not in a text message. Read the deposit guide and keep the delivery window on the same paperwork as the price. An estimate you did not read is just a number with a logo on it.

Ask out loud
Questions people ask
- How many people moved from Arizona to New York?
- The Census ACS 2024 count is 2,936 people, with a margin of plus or minus 1,141. In the same year, 5,077 people moved from New York to Arizona. Those figures do not say why anyone moved.
- How long is the drive from Arizona to New York?
- The most common run in our file is Phoenix to New York, 2,411 miles and about 44 hours of driving. A household shipment on this lane is priced by weight and miles, and delivery is a window on the order for service. Driving time and the delivery window are not the same date.
- What did reviewers report paying?
- The median reported price was $3,788 across 18 priced reviews. The middle half of those prices ran from $2,700 to $4,321. Prices mix home sizes and distances, so the median is not a quote for your shipment.
- Do reviews mention damage or delays?
- Of the reviews in this file, 28% mention damage and 22% mention a delay or a no-show. The shares sit on 18 reviews. If the truck is late, the delivery window in the order for service is the first paper to pull.
- What should I have in writing before I book?
- You want an active USDOT number, FMCSA household-goods authority, and a binding or not-to-exceed estimate. On a non-binding estimate the mover must deliver on payment of 110 percent of the estimate. The delivery window and the deposit terms should be on the order, not only in a message.
