As Maricopa County continues to lead the nation in population growth, Dose Moving & Storage reports rising demand for local and long-distance moving services.

PHOENIX, AZ, UNITED STATES, August 21, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Arizona continues to rank among the country’s fastest-expanding states, and Dose Moving & Storage is witnessing this trend directly. As one of the busiest Phoenix movers, the company notes a consistent increase in requests for both local and long-distance relocations as additional residents and enterprises move to the greater Phoenix metro region.

The Data Behind the Expansion

Maricopa County’s population hit 4,673,096 by July 2024, climbing from 4,585,871 the previous year, prolonging a pattern that has placed it among the nation’s fastest-growing counties for several years. The wider Phoenix metro area added roughly 92,100 inhabitants over a recent 12-month span, with net migration—rather than births alone—continuing as the primary engine of regional growth.

This expansion is not confined to a single part of the Valley. Rapidly growing municipalities such as Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, Buckeye, and Queen Creek have each experienced notable population increases in recent years, each fueling its own steady moving demand. For a company built on flat-rate pricing and internal crews, that kind of sustained, widespread growth calls for the ability to scale services across the entire metro rather than focusing resources in one area.

Reasons Behind the Relocation to Arizona

According to Dose Moving & Storage, the factors driving its expanding customer base align with broader patterns reported by state and county statistics: job-related moves, more affordable housing compared to coastal markets, and retirees and snowbirds selecting Arizona for its climate and way of life. Many of these newcomers come from California, Washington, and other higher-cost states, attracted by lower housing expenses and a reduced overall cost of living relative to their original markets.

The company has also observed a corresponding rise in interstate moves, with long-distance movers Arizona residents depend on seeing sustained demand from families and individuals relocating into the state from across the nation. On the commercial side, the company has noted a parallel increase in business relocations as companies expand into the Valley alongside the residential boom, drawn by Arizona’s lower cost of doing business and growing labor pool.

Addressing Demand With Flat-Rate, In-House Operations

As demand climbs, Dose Moving & Storage states that its business model—owning its trucks and employing its own crews rather than subcontracting jobs to third-party carriers—has allowed it to grow without sacrificing the consistency that has earned the company a 4.8-star rating across 958 Google reviews. Brokered moves, where a company sells a job to a separate carrier instead of performing it directly, are a frequent source of customer complaints in a fast-growing market where demand can outstrip legitimate capacity. By keeping its trucks and crews in-house, Dose Moving & Storage says it can maintain quality control even as volume increases.

As a flat-rate moving company Phoenix customers have increasingly turned to during this growth period, Dose Moving & Storage provides upfront, transparent pricing for local, residential, commercial, long-distance, packing, and storage services throughout the Phoenix metro and beyond, eliminating the uncertainty of hourly billing that can leave clients with surprise charges on moving day.

Future Outlook

With Arizona’s population expansion expected to persist in the coming years, Dose Moving & Storage says it is investing in additional crews, trucks, and capacity to keep up with demand across its Phoenix and Mesa service areas. The company notes that its goal is to grow at a pace that allows it to maintain the same flat-rate pricing model and hands-on service standards it was founded on in 2014, rather than expanding in ways that would require relying on outside carriers or subcontracted labor.

“We’ve watched this growth happen in real time. Every year we get more calls from families relocating from California, from businesses expanding into the Valley, from retirees making Arizona home,” said Jason Dose, founder of Dose Moving & Storage. “Our job is to make sure that growth doesn’t come with the chaos people expect from a move. That’s why we stayed flat-rate and kept everything in-house.”

Dose Moving & Storage is a Phoenix-based moving and storage company founded in 2014 by Jason Dose, with an additional location in Mesa. The company offers local, residential, commercial, long-distance, packing, and storage services across the greater Phoenix metro and beyond, with a focus on flat-rate pricing and in-house trucks and crews. Dose Moving & Storage holds a 4.8-star rating across 958 Google reviews.
