Moving from Charlotte to Phoenix is a route Royal Moving Services runs as a licensed interstate carrier. Phoenix is roughly 1,850 miles west of Charlotte, a long desert haul into one of the fastest-growing metros in the country. We operate under USDOT #3617767 with our own trucks and crews, so there are no broker handoffs. One coordinator handles your move from Charlotte pickup through delivery in Phoenix.
Phoenix is one of the fastest-growing major metros in the country, with no state income tax on Social Security, extreme sunshine, and a suburban housing market that offers more space per dollar than virtually any coastal alternative. Scottsdale's upscale retail and resort economy, Tempe's university culture around Arizona State, and the East Valley's suburban family communities give the metro a wide range of neighborhoods. The Desert Botanical Garden, the South Mountain Preserve, and the Sonoran Desert landscape give the city an outdoor character despite its urban scale.
The summer heat is the significant environmental factor, with temperatures regularly exceeding 110 degrees from June through September, but for people who want sun, space, and financial efficiency, Phoenix has become one of the top destinations in the country.
