Carrollton, TX → Aurora, CO · Long-distance move
About 750 road miles heading northwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,120–$6,130, delivery in 2–5 days, 976 carriers on the Carrollton side and 1,183 in Aurora.
Aurora sits about 750 miles northwest of Carrollton, which makes this an interstate relocation from Texas to Colorado that most movers classify as a long-distance 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 $4,120 to $6,130 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 13 h 38 min.
On the Carrollton side there are 976 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (399 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1,183 around Aurora (464 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 Aurora.
Carrollton has a population of about 134,562 and Aurora about 410,053. Carrollton is considerably denser (3,636 people per square mile versus 2,413), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Colorado is a higher-cost state than Texas, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. Note that Colorado does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 750 road miles (636 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 13 h 38 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 Texas 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 $1,070 to $1,510 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,690 to $2,480. 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 Carrollton–Aurora corridor.
