Blacksburg, VA → Boulder, CO · Cross-country move
About 1,592 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,400–$9,520, delivery in 5–10 days, 80 carriers on the Blacksburg side and 120 in Boulder.
Moving from Blacksburg to Boulder is a cross-country move of roughly 1,592 road miles, heading west from Virginia to Colorado.
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 $6,400 to $9,520 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 28 hours (4 driving days).
On the Blacksburg side there are 80 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (61 of them authorized for interstate work), and 120 around Boulder (30 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 Boulder.
Blacksburg has a population of about 45,000 and Boulder about 105,689. Boulder is the denser city (4,116 people per square mile versus 2,264 in Blacksburg), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

About 1,592 road miles (1,349 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 28 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 Virginia 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 $2,240 to $3,160 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,440 to $3,590. 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 Blacksburg–Boulder corridor.
