The route
A short interstate haul: 347 miles, about 6 hours of driving. Long enough to be priced on weight, short enough that most carriers run it on a dedicated truck rather than pooling your goods with other shipments — a two-bedroom home typically runs $1,562 – $2,082. That means a tight delivery date and far less handling.

How these figures are calculated
At the Las Vegas end
For a local crew after delivery, the largest licensed carriers within 30 miles of Las Vegas: Us Safe Moving LLC (Las Vegas, 25 trucks), All My Sons Moving & Storage of Las Vegas LLC (North Las Vegas, 18 trucks), Royal Moving and Storage LLC (Henderson, 16 trucks), Ace World Wide of Nevada (North Las Vegas, 14 trucks).
Rules that apply to this move
Because the truck crosses from Arizona into Nevada, 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 Las Vegas
Ask whether it is hourly or flat
At 347 miles some carriers still quote hourly plus mileage rather than by weight. Get both numbers so you can compare like with like — hourly can win on a short haul with easy access at both ends.
Confirm it is a one-day run
Most carriers cover this distance in a single day, which avoids an overnight charge and a second crew. If a quote assumes two days, ask why.
Arriving in Las Vegas
A local move inside Las Vegas later — across town, out of temporary housing — is billed by the hour: about $465 – $761 for a two-bedroom home and $777 – $1,398 for three bedrooms. The nearest cities we cover from Las Vegas are Paradise (about 7 mi), Spring Valley (about 9 mi), North Las Vegas (about 11 mi).
