I’m Colton Reyes, and Los Angeles is about 440 miles from Cottonwood — I-17 south to Phoenix, then I-10 west across the desert and into the LA basin. We quote it at 2–3 days, and the flat rate is written down before Reuben Castillo’s crew loads the first box.
| Home size | Flat-rate band | Typical transit window |
|---|---|---|
| 1-bedroom | $2,600–3,650 | 2–3 days |
| 2-bedroom | $4,150–5,850 | 2–3 days |
| 3-bedroom | $6,100–8,600 | 2–3 days |
| 4-bedroom+ | $8,950–12,600 | 2–3 days |
Traffic timing matters more on this run than distance does — we build arrival windows around LA’s rush hours rather than just mileage, since the last 40 miles into the basin can take longer than the previous 300. Summer heat across the low-desert stretch between Phoenix and the California line is a real factor too, so we load early and keep an eye on the forecast.
We carry up to $1,000,000 in cargo coverage per shipment on runs this long, and we walk through the coverage options before you book. Compare with San Diego, check long-distance moving details, or browse the routes page. Back to home.
