Movers from Phoenix
to Irvine
Phoenix to Irvine is about 358 road miles west on I-10, then CA-60 and CA-91 into Orange County. Ontrack Moving® runs it from its Peoria yard with its own truck and crew, at a flat rate set before the move.
Moving + Storage under one roof, one company, one point of contact Plus complimentary moving blankets, wardrobe boxes, and floor protection with every move.
How does a Phoenix to Irvine move handle the Arizona heat?
As of September 2026, Ontrack Moving® plans Phoenix to Irvine moves around the heat rather than through it: loading time is set with the temperature in mind, heat-sensitive items are identified during the survey, and the truck leaves from a Phoenix Metro yard in Peoria that has climate-controlled storage vaults if the dates need a gap. Ontrack Moving® is an asset-based carrier (USDOT #2551548) with its own trucks and crews, so the company that plans for the heat is the company doing the loading.
Ontrack Moving® prices the move at a flat rate by truck count after an on-site or virtual survey of your Phoenix-area home, set before the move. Your belongings are covered by standard $0.60/lb cargo liability per article, while the $10,000,000 Combined Protection Tower covers building liability at both addresses. Ontrack Moving® carries a DOT inspection record that exceeds the national average under FMCSA inspection.

The Phoenix end
Loading a Truck in the Valley Heat
Summer in the Phoenix area changes how a move is planned, not whether it happens.
Heat-sensitive items
Candles, vinyl records, electronics, wine and some finishes do not like a hot truck. The survey flags them so they are packed and loaded with that in mind. Our Thermal-Staging Protocol™ covers how we plan desert moves.
A yard in Peoria
Our Phoenix Metro yard at 8662 N 78th Ave in Peoria has climate-controlled storage vaults, so a gap between your move-out and your Irvine move-in stays with one company.
One company, both ends
Ontrack crews load in Phoenix and unload in Irvine. No transfer between carriers, no subcontracted team at the delivery.
Carrier or Broker: What Changes on a Phoenix to Irvine Move
A broker arranges your move with a separate carrier. A carrier moves it. Leaving from Phoenix, it also decides who plans the loading around the heat.
| Factor | Ontrack (Carrier) | Moving Brokers |
|---|---|---|
| Carrier Continuity | Ontrack trucks and Ontrack crews from Phoenix to Irvine | The job is sold to whichever carrier accepts it |
| Who moves your items? | Our own direct-hire crews and company trucks | A company you may not learn about until moving day |
| Liability | Direct carrier under USDOT #2551548. $10M Combined Protection Tower for building liability; $0.60/lb per article cargo liability on belongings | Split between the broker and the carrier it hired |
| DOT Safety Record | DOT inspection record that exceeds the national average, verifiable on FMCSA | Depends on a carrier you did not choose |
| Price Transparency | Flat-rate quote from a survey of your inventory, no broker markup | The carrier may not be named until after you book |
| Physical Yard | 8662 N 78th Ave, Peoria, AZ, with secure storage on site | Often no yard and no trucks of its own |
Ontrack is a licensed interstate carrier (USDOT #2551548, MC #889001, CAL-T190721). Your belongings stay with Ontrack from pickup to delivery.

Phoenix to Los Angeles, second move with Ontrack
We had an outstanding experience with Ontrack. We previously used them to move within Phoenix and this time we used them to move from Phoenix to LA. James, John and Aaron were all very careful with our belongings and great to work with! We would use them again anytime we had moving needs.
