Centennial, CO → Ukiah, CA · Long-distance move
About 1,155 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,830–$8,680, delivery in 3–7 days, 826 carriers on the Centennial side and 15 in Ukiah.
Moving from Centennial to Ukiah is a long-distance move of roughly 1,155 road miles, heading west 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 $5,830 to $8,680 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 37 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 15 around Ukiah (3 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 Ukiah.
Centennial has a population of about 108,658 and Ukiah about 17,000. The two cities have comparable density (3,650 and 3,484 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.

About 1,155 road miles (979 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 20 h 37 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 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 $1,640 to $2,310 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,050 to $3,020. 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–Ukiah corridor.
