Alpharetta, GA → Colorado Springs, CO · Long-distance move
About 1,396 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,770–$8,590, delivery in 3–7 days, 1,260 carriers on the Alpharetta side and 247 in Colorado Springs.
The route from Alpharetta, GA to Colorado Springs, CO covers roughly 1,396 miles by road, a west-bound trip that falls into the long-distance move category for pricing purposes.
At this distance carriers price by shipment weight and mileage rather than by the hour. A two-bedroom home (around 5,000 lb of goods) typically costs $5,770 to $8,590 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 24 hours (3 driving days).
On the Alpharetta side there are 1,260 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (604 of them authorized for interstate work), and 247 around Colorado Springs (70 interstate). For an interstate move you can book from either end; movers near the origin handle loading and are usually the better first call, while a destination-side company can be useful if you need storage or delivery-day help in Colorado Springs.
Alpharetta has a population of about 68,000 and Colorado Springs about 494,743. The two cities have comparable density (2,447 and 2,451 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Colorado is a higher-cost state than Georgia, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 1,396 road miles (1,183 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 24 hours (3 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 days after pickup. Carriers give a spread rather than a fixed date because long-distance trucks carry several shipments; a dedicated truck or expedited service shortens the window for an extra fee.
Yes. Crossing from Georgia into Colorado makes this an interstate move, so the carrier must hold active FMCSA operating authority (an MC number) in addition to its USDOT number. The company cards on this page flag which carriers are authorized for interstate work.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $2,030 to $2,870 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,270 to $3,330. Both save money versus a full-service crew but you do the loading, and container transit can take longer than a mover's delivery window.
Rates are highest in summer and around the last days of any month, when demand peaks. Mid-month, mid-week and winter dates are usually quoted below the standard rate. Booking four to eight weeks ahead gives you the widest choice of carriers on the Alpharetta–Colorado Springs corridor.
