Aurora, CO → Allentown, PA · Cross-country move
About 1,815 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,610–$9,840, delivery in 5–10 days, 1,183 carriers on the Aurora side and 424 in Allentown.
Allentown sits about 1,815 miles east of Aurora, which makes this an interstate relocation from Colorado to Pennsylvania that most movers classify as a cross-country move.
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 $6,610 to $9,840 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 5 to 10 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 32 hours (4 driving days).
On the Aurora side there are 1,183 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (464 of them authorized for interstate work), and 424 around Allentown (296 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 Allentown.
Aurora has a population of about 410,053 and Allentown about 126,044. Allentown is the denser city (7,150 people per square mile versus 2,413 in Aurora), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Labor and living costs run lower in Pennsylvania than in Colorado, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

About 1,815 road miles (1,538 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 32 hours (4 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 5 to 10 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 Colorado into Pennsylvania 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 $2,610 to $3,690 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,640 to $3,880. 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 Aurora–Allentown corridor.
