Who moves households from Phoenix to Tucson as the carrier, not a broker?
As of October 2026, Ontrack Moving® moves households between Tucson and the Phoenix metro, and between Tucson and California, as the carrier itself: company-owned trucks dispatched from its Peoria or Hayward yard, USDOT #2551548, rated 4.9/5 from 2,847+ reviews, with a DOT inspection record that exceeds the national average.
Ontrack Moving® has no Tucson office. This page covers moves between Tucson and the Phoenix metro or California. For a move that starts and ends inside Tucson, call us and ask first. A broker would book any of those trips and hand them to whichever truck it finds. Here, the company that surveys your home is the company whose truck comes up the road.

What should be settled at the Tucson address before the truck rolls?
On a long leg, the truck has already covered the miles by the time it reaches your street, so a blocked curb or a missing permit is harder to fix on the spot. Four checks, all from official sources:
Containers and dumpsters
If a portable storage container or a dumpster will sit on City of Tucson right-of-way, which typically includes the roadway, the sidewalk easement and alleys, the City requires a Traffic Control Permit; if the unit sits in the roadway, a Type II barricade with a Type A flasher at each end facing traffic. Units placed without one could be fined.
Curb space in the busy districts
Park Tucson reserves metered spaces Downtown, on 4th Avenue, at Main Gate Square and in the University area, and loading zones Downtown, on 4th Avenue and at Main Gate Square. Requests made less than 24 hours ahead carry a late fee. Outside City of Tucson limits, the town or county that governs your street sets the rules.
The I-10 leg
Interstate 10 is the freeway between Phoenix and Tucson. The week of the move, and again the morning of it, check AZ 511, Arizona's official traveler information, for closures and incidents, and plan the timing of your own drive with that in view.
Summer dates
The National Weather Service office in Phoenix defines monsoon season as June 15 through September 30, the window when its storm hazards are most likely. Summer heat is a separate point: tell us about wine, artwork, electronics and other items with temperature needs when you request the estimate.
Gated community or HOA at either end? Get its move rules, gate instructions and any certificate of insurance wording, and send them with your booking; Ontrack Moving® sends COIs to HOAs and property managers.
What changes when a Tucson move crosses into California?
Three things. The rulebook becomes federal, so the carrier's USDOT number and FMCSA's moving booklet are where you check it. The truck comes from the Hayward yard in the Bay Area, so the California end of the move is the end closest to it. And the price stops being about hours: as of October 2026, Ontrack Moving® prices a California to or from Tucson move on the truck space your home needs, the distance, access at both ends and the season, with flat rates available. Valuation options for your belongings are set out in your written estimate and in that FMCSA booklet.
Because truck space sets the price, show the survey everything that is going: the garage, the patio set, the side yard, the storage unit across town.

How Ontrack Moving® prices the Phoenix to Tucson run
No number on this page, on purpose. A Tucson move is quoted after a survey of your inventory, by video or in person (ask which yours will be), because two homes of the same size can load very differently. For a move between Tucson and the Phoenix metro, the written estimate states how the move is billed and how the crew's travel from the Peoria yard is charged. When applicable, a trip charge covers the crew's travel from and back to the yard. Arizona moves are not subject to California's double drive time tariff rule.
Final charges will be based on actual labor time, materials used, access conditions, scope changes, waiting time, and any additional services requested or required to complete the move. For what a move day includes, see residential moving.

Within Phoenix first, then Phoenix to LA
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.

Peoria branch crew, every step communicated
James, Alex, and Jose from the Peoria branch of Ontrack Moving helped us move from one home in Buckeye, Arizona to another. They did a fantastic job and made this move as stress free and easy as can be. They were friendly, diligent and communicated every part of the process spectacularly. I would strongly recommend them to anyone looking to hire movers.
