Centennial, CO → Palm Springs, CA · Long-distance move
About 896 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,080–$7,570, delivery in 2–5 days, 826 carriers on the Centennial side and 74 in Palm Springs.
Moving from Centennial to Palm Springs is a long-distance move of roughly 896 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 $5,080 to $7,570 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 9 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 74 around Palm Springs (33 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 Palm Springs.
Centennial has a population of about 108,658 and Palm Springs about 45,000. Centennial is considerably denser (3,650 people per square mile versus 471), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. California is a higher-cost state than Colorado, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 896 road miles (759 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 16 h 9 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 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 $1,220 to $1,720 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,820 to $2,680. 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–Palm Springs corridor.
