Phoenix is the longest westbound route we run — over a thousand miles and close to sixteen hours behind the wheel, most of it on I-20 and I-10 through West Texas and New Mexico. Families take this one for a lot of reasons: a job transfer, a retirement move, or just wanting a change from Dallas summers, which is a harder trade than people expect once they’ve lived through a few of ours.
Distance like that is exactly why we don’t quote it by the hour. Every Phoenix move gets a binding price built from a real walk-through of your home, locked in before the truck rolls, so a longer-than-expected drive through the desert never turns into a bigger bill.
The crew that loads in Dallas rides the whole route and unloads in Phoenix. GQS doesn’t hand long hauls like this off to a partner carrier or run them through a reload yard — same truck, same people, the entire way.
Dallas → Phoenix — Estimated Cost
| Home Size | Estimated Flat Rate | Typical Transit |
|---|---|---|
| Studio / 1BR | $3,200 | 3 to 4 days |
| 2BR | $5,000 | 4 days |
| 3BR+ | $7,300 | 4 to 5 days |
Treat these numbers as a starting budget — the binding figure gets locked once someone from our office has walked through your home size and the access at both ends with you.
Moving Dallas to Phoenix?
One employee crew — usually Ariana or Garrett on this stretch — handles both ends of the haul, from loading at our Westmoreland Road yard to carrying it in at the other end
The same people who load the truck in Dallas ride the whole route and unload it themselves in Phoenix — nobody hands your things off to a different crew partway, there’s no reweigh at a scale, and there’s no broker splitting the job between two outfits. Between them, Ariana and Garrett have covered enough of these runs that a same-day local job and a multi-state haul both get the same treatment.
