Centennial, CO → Moreno Valley, CA · Long-distance move
About 928 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,180–$7,700, delivery in 2–5 days, 826 carriers on the Centennial side and 861 in Moreno Valley.
Moving from Centennial to Moreno Valley is a long-distance move of roughly 928 road miles, heading southwest from Colorado to California.
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 $5,180 to $7,700 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 16 h 42 min.
On the Centennial side there are 826 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (318 of them authorized for interstate work), and 861 around Moreno Valley (478 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 Moreno Valley.
Centennial has a population of about 108,658 and Moreno Valley about 214,263. The two cities have comparable density (3,650 and 4,067 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. California is a higher-cost state than Colorado, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

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 California 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 $1,400 to $1,980 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,850 to $2,720. 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 Centennial–Moreno Valley corridor.
