Chattanooga, TN → Pueblo, CO · Long-distance move
About 1,290 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,420–$8,070, delivery in 3–7 days, 241 carriers on the Chattanooga side and 44 in Pueblo.
The route from Chattanooga, TN to Pueblo, CO covers roughly 1,290 miles by road, a west-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 $5,420 to $8,070 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 22 h 57 min.
On the Chattanooga side there are 241 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (155 of them authorized for interstate work), and 44 around Pueblo (20 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 Pueblo.
Chattanooga has a population of about 194,144 and Pueblo about 110,404. Pueblo is the denser city (2,019 people per square mile versus 1,272 in Chattanooga), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Colorado is a higher-cost state than Tennessee, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. Note that Colorado does collect a state income tax, unlike Tennessee, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 1,290 road miles (1,094 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 22 h 57 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 Tennessee into Colorado 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 $1,780 to $2,510 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,170 to $3,190. 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 Chattanooga–Pueblo corridor.
