Anchorage, AK → Centennial, CO · Cross-country move
About 2,840 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $9,100–$13,530, delivery in 7–14 days, 123 carriers on the Anchorage side and 826 in Centennial.
The route from Anchorage, AK to Centennial, CO covers roughly 2,840 miles by road, a east-bound trip that falls into the cross-country 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 $9,100 to $13,530 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 7 to 14 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 49 hours (6 driving days).
On the Anchorage side there are 123 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (34 of them authorized for interstate work), and 826 around Centennial (318 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 Centennial.
Anchorage has a population of about 287,155 and Centennial about 108,658. Centennial is the denser city (3,650 people per square mile versus 171 in Anchorage), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Labor and living costs run lower in Colorado than in Alaska, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home. Note that Colorado does collect a state income tax, unlike Alaska, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 2,840 road miles (2,407 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 49 hours (6 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 7 to 14 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 Alaska 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 $3,970 to $5,600 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,550 to $5,230. 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 Anchorage–Centennial corridor.
