The route
A genuine long haul at 2,578 miles from Arizona to Connecticut. Almost all of these move as consolidated freight: your goods share a trailer and the carrier quotes 7 to 14 days rather than a date. It is why a two-bedroom home here runs $11,601 – $15,468 instead of scaling straight with distance, and also why there is more handling and a looser schedule.

How these figures are calculated
At the Hartford end
For a local crew after delivery, the largest licensed carriers within 30 miles of Hartford: CT Moving and Storage (Southington, 25 trucks), Rt Relocation LLC (Cheshire, 24 trucks), Lippincott Van Lines (Winsted, 22 trucks), Pioneer Moving (Chicopee, 10 trucks).
Rules that apply to this move
Because the truck crosses from Arizona into Connecticut, 49 CFR Part 375 applies: a written estimate before loading, no more than 110% of a non-binding estimate collected at delivery, and full-value protection unless you choose released value in writing. See binding vs non-binding estimates and valuation explained.
Before you book Phoenix to Hartford
Insist on a survey
Over 2,578 miles the price is driven almost entirely by weight. A quote given without a video or in-home survey is a guess that gets revised upward on loading day, and at this distance the revision is expensive.
Keep full-value protection
It is the default on an interstate move. Signing it away for released value means 60 cents per pound, about $18 for a 30 lb television, after 2,578 miles of handling.
Arriving in Hartford
A local move inside Hartford later — across town, out of temporary housing — is billed by the hour: about $505 – $831 for a two-bedroom home and $849 – $1,533 for three bedrooms. The nearest cities we cover from Hartford are Springfield (about 28 mi), New Haven (about 40 mi), Bridgeport (about 56 mi).
