Centennial, CO → Portland, OR · Long-distance move
About 1,170 road miles heading northwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,450–$8,110, delivery in 3–7 days, 826 carriers on the Centennial side and 645 in Portland.
The route from Centennial, CO to Portland, OR covers roughly 1,170 miles by road, a northwest-bound trip that falls into the long-distance move category for pricing purposes.
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 $5,450 to $8,110 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 20 h 52 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 645 around Portland (474 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 Portland.
Centennial has a population of about 108,658 and Portland about 635,109. Portland is the denser city (4,888 people per square mile versus 3,650 in Centennial), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

About 1,170 road miles (991 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 20 h 52 min.
Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 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 Oregon 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 $1,650 to $2,330 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,060 to $3,040. 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–Portland corridor.
