The route
A short interstate haul: 316 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 $1,422 – $1,896. That means a tight delivery date and far less handling.

How many people move from Tempe to Saint George
The Census Bureau's American Community Survey (2016–2020) estimates that about 384 people a year (±416) moved from Maricopa County, AZ, home to Tempe, to Washington County, UT, home to Saint George. The margin of error is as large as the estimate, so read it as a handful of households rather than a count. Going the other way: about 366 people a year (±207). Movers from Maricopa County make up 3.1% of the 12,301 people a year who moved into Washington County from another county or state.
At state level, the 2024 survey counts about 9,643 people a year (±2,547) moving from Arizona to Utah and about 7,366 people a year (±2,624) from Utah to Arizona — a net gain for Utah of about 2,277 people a year.

Rules that apply to this move

Before you book Tempe to Saint George
Ask whether it is hourly or flat
At 316 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.
