Centennial, CO → Raleigh, NC · Cross-country move
About 1,713 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,350–$9,450, delivery in 5–10 days, 826 carriers on the Centennial side and 739 in Raleigh.
Moving from Centennial to Raleigh is a cross-country move of roughly 1,713 road miles, heading east from Colorado to North Carolina.
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 $6,350 to $9,450 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 30 hours (4 driving days).
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 739 around Raleigh (399 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 Raleigh.
Centennial has a population of about 108,658 and Raleigh about 506,306. The two cities have comparable density (3,650 and 3,179 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Labor and living costs run lower in North Carolina than in Colorado, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

About 1,713 road miles (1,451 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 30 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 Colorado into North Carolina 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 $2,360 to $3,330 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,550 to $3,750. 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–Raleigh corridor.
