Aurora, CO → Amarillo, TX · Regional long-distance move
About 412 road miles heading southeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,160–$4,700, delivery in 1–3 days, 1,183 carriers on the Aurora side and 82 in Amarillo.
Moving from Aurora to Amarillo is a regional long-distance move of roughly 412 road miles, heading southeast from Colorado to Texas.
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 $3,160 to $4,700 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 7 h 48 min.
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 82 around Amarillo (45 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 Amarillo.
Aurora has a population of about 410,053 and Amarillo about 205,130. The two cities have comparable density (2,413 and 1,959 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Labor and living costs run lower in Texas than in Colorado, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home. Texas levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 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 Texas 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 $570 to $810 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,390 to $2,040. 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–Amarillo corridor.
