Freight trailer costs from Reno, NV to Chandler, AZ
Freight trailers are a solid option for larger DIY moves from Reno, Nevada, to Chandler, Arizona. Standard trailers run 28 feet long, and you're only charged for the portion you actually fill. The carrier drops the trailer off, you load it at your own pace, and they handle the drive to your new city.
Pricing is based entirely on the linear footage your shipment occupies, not the full trailer length. Most long-distance freight moves land somewhere between $1,049 and $2,067.
Take a look at freight trailer costs based on home size for moves from Reno to Chandler:
- Studio apartment / 1 bedroom: $939 - $1,815

- 4+ bedrooms: $1,439 - $2,806
Pro tip: Freight pricing rewards efficient packing. Trailers are 8 feet tall and accessed via a 4-foot ramp, so technique matters, especially for heavy pieces. Since each additional linear foot adds to your quote, packing strategically is one of the easiest ways to control costs.
What other costs come with freight trailers?
- Moving labor: Freight trailers don't include loading help. In Reno, Nevada, hiring 2 movers for about 5 hours typically costs $816.
- More space: You only pay for the trailer footage you use, but underestimating your load can add roughly $87 - $175 per additional foot to your total.

What are the best freight companies from Reno to Chandler?
- MovingYourself (5/5 stars): MovingYourself is our pick for best for large moves. The company is best known as a top moving container option for its hybrid model where you load and they drive, and that same model translates well to freight thanks to their 53-foot trucks and pay-by-the-foot pricing.
- U-Pack (5/5 stars): U-Pack offers the best value freight trailer on this route. Beyond their flagship container service, U-Pack also runs freight trailers with the same no-deposit, no-upfront-fee model, charging only for the linear footage you actually fill.
Pro tip: Freight trailers are a great option when you need your belongings in Chandler fast. For interstate moves, freight is one of the quickest delivery methods out there. Just keep in mind that freight carriers expect you to be available to receive your shipment, so it works best when your move-in is locked in and you don't need temporary storage on either end.
