Aurora, CO → Mesa, AZ · Long-distance move
About 688 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,040–$6,010, delivery in 2–5 days, 1,183 carriers on the Aurora side and 834 in Mesa.
The route from Aurora, CO to Mesa, AZ covers roughly 688 miles by road, a southwest-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 $4,040 to $6,010 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 12 h 34 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 834 around Mesa (331 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 Mesa.
Aurora has a population of about 410,053 and Mesa about 513,656. Mesa is the denser city (3,636 people per square mile versus 2,413 in Aurora), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

About 688 road miles (583 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 12 h 34 min.
Expect a delivery window of 2 to 5 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 Arizona 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 $1,010 to $1,420 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,630 to $2,400. 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–Mesa corridor.
