Major Illinois to Arizona city routes
Each city pair is priced separately because distance and local service costs differ.
What drives the price between these states
The distance spread across this corridor is roughly 1,675 to 1,685 miles, so two households leaving the same state on the same day can receive very different quotes. Long-haul shipments usually travel with other shipments on the same trailer, which lowers the per-mile rate but widens the delivery window.
Shipment weight is the second lever. Our model prices a 2-bedroom shipment at $4,500–$6,000 and a 4-bedroom shipment at $8,800–$11,750 over the same distance.
