Centennial, CO → St. Petersburg, FL · Cross-country move
About 1,782 road miles heading southeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,620–$9,850, delivery in 5–10 days, 826 carriers on the Centennial side and 547 in St. Petersburg.
Moving from Centennial to St. Petersburg is a cross-country move of roughly 1,782 road miles, heading southeast from Colorado to Florida.
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 $6,620 to $9,850 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 31 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 547 around St. Petersburg (188 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 St. Petersburg.
Centennial has a population of about 108,658 and St. Petersburg about 264,033. The two cities have comparable density (3,650 and 4,180 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Florida levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 1,782 road miles (1,510 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 31 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 Florida 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 $2,430 to $3,430 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,610 to $3,840. 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–St. Petersburg corridor.
