What does a San Francisco to Scottsdale move look like with one carrier at both ends?
Ontrack Moving® runs San Francisco to Scottsdale moves with a yard at each end of the route: as of September 2026, the Bay Area yard in Hayward and the Phoenix Metro yard in Peoria, which has climate-controlled storage vaults. Your belongings ride on an Ontrack truck with Ontrack crews the whole way, under USDOT #2551548, with no transfer between carriers and no subcontracted team waiting in Arizona.
Ontrack Moving® prices the move at a flat rate by truck count from an on-site or virtual survey, set before the move. If the Scottsdale keys come after the San Francisco move-out, the shipment can wait in a Peoria vault instead of a third party's warehouse. 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.

Two yards, one company
Why a Yard in Arizona Matters on a Move From San Francisco
A long move has two ends, and the Arizona end is where a broker's plan can run thin.
Storage on the delivery side
If your Scottsdale keys come later than your San Francisco move-out, the shipment can wait in a climate-controlled vault at 8662 N 78th Ave in Peoria instead of a third party's warehouse.
Desert delivery
Summer deliveries in the Valley are planned around the heat, and heat-sensitive items are flagged in the survey. Our Thermal-Staging Protocol™ covers how we plan desert moves.
No handoff
The crew that loads in San Francisco is an Ontrack crew, and the shipment is not transferred between carriers on the way to Scottsdale.
Carrier or Broker: What Changes on a San Francisco to Scottsdale Move
A broker arranges your move with a separate carrier. A carrier moves it. On a move of about 762 miles with a yard at each end, it also decides whether storage in Arizona stays with the same company.
| Factor | Ontrack (Carrier) | Moving Brokers |
|---|---|---|
| Carrier Continuity | Ontrack trucks and Ontrack crews from San Francisco to Scottsdale | 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 | 22950 Clawiter Rd, Hayward, CA, 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.

San Jose to Phoenix, Eduardo and his teams
Eduardo's teams were awesome - They arrived Tuesday morning in San Jose, CA & It's now Thursday at Noon and we're all set up in Phoenix, AZ. They took good care of our stuff, helped pack some fragile bulky items and everything made it safe and sound.

California to Arizona, in-person estimate
Every moment with OnTrack for our CA to AZ move was professional and delightful... from the in-person estimate, to the communication leading up to the big day, to the professional, kind, and detail-oriented team led by Eduardo. They treated our furniture, art and goods as if it were their own, wrapping everything carefully and then assembling for us in our new home...
