With Maricopa County still leading the nation in population increases, Dose Moving & Storage notes a growing need for both local and cross-country moving services.

PHOENIX, AZ, UNITED STATES, August 21, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Arizona continues to be one of the country’s fastest-expanding states, and Dose Moving & Storage is experiencing this expansion directly. As one of the most active Phoenix movers, the firm observes a consistent increase in both local and long-distance relocation requests as additional residents and companies move into the greater Phoenix metro area.

The Growth in Figures

Maricopa County's population hit 4,673,096 by July 2024, climbing from 4,585,871 the previous year, prolonging a pattern that has kept it among the nation's fastest-growing counties for many years. The broader Phoenix metro area gained roughly 92,100 residents during a recent 12-month span, with net migration remaining the primary growth engine across the region rather than natural increase alone.

This expansion is not confined to any single area of the Valley. Rapidly growing municipalities such as Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, Buckeye, and Queen Creek have each recorded notable population increases in recent years, and each creates its own steady moving demand. For a company built on flat-rate pricing and internal crews, that kind of sustained, widespread growth demands the capacity to deliver service across the entire metro rather than concentrating efforts in one neighborhood.

Reasons Behind Arizona’s Influx

Dose Moving & Storage states that the factors behind its expanding customer base align with broader trends documented by state and county statistics: job-related relocation, more affordable housing compared to coastal markets, and retirees and snowbirds selecting Arizona for its weather and way of life. Many of these newcomers originate from California, Washington, and other high-cost states, attracted by lower housing expenses and a reduced overall cost of living relative to their home areas.

The company has also observed a corresponding rise in interstate moves, with long-distance movers Arizona residents depend on experiencing sustained demand from families and individuals entering the state from across the nation. On the commercial side, the firm has noted a parallel increase in business relocations as companies expand into the Valley alongside the residential boom, drawn by Arizona's lower business costs and expanding workforce.

Addressing Demand Through Flat-Rate, In-House Operations

As demand grows, Dose Moving & Storage says its operational model—owning its vehicles and employing its own teams rather than subcontracted jobs—enables 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, often lead to customer complaints in a fast-growing market where demand can exceed legitimate capacity. By keeping its trucks and crews internal, Dose Moving & Storage states it can uphold quality control even as volume rises.

As a flat-rate moving company Phoenix customers have increasingly turned to during this growth period, Dose Moving & Storage delivers upfront, clear pricing on 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.

What Lies Ahead

With Arizona's population expansion anticipated to continue in the coming years, Dose Moving & Storage says it is investing in additional crews, vehicles, and capacity to stay ahead of demand across its Phoenix and Mesa service areas. The company notes its priority is to expand at a rate that allows it to preserve the same flat-rate pricing model and hands-on service standards it was founded on in 2014, rather than growing in ways that would require reliance 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.
