Bridgeport, CT → Fort Collins, CO · Cross-country move
About 1,955 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $7,240–$10,770, delivery in 5–10 days, 447 carriers on the Bridgeport side and 104 in Fort Collins.
Moving from Bridgeport to Fort Collins is a cross-country move of roughly 1,955 road miles, heading west from Connecticut 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 $7,240 to $10,770 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 34 hours (4 driving days).
On the Bridgeport side there are 447 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (230 of them authorized for interstate work), and 104 around Fort Collins (46 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 Fort Collins.
Bridgeport has a population of about 152,273 and Fort Collins about 171,500. Bridgeport is considerably denser (9,233 people per square mile versus 2,969), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

About 1,955 road miles (1,656 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 34 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 Connecticut 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 $2,760 to $3,890 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,760 to $4,070. 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 Bridgeport–Fort Collins corridor.
