Reverse: Longmont → Chico

Moving from Chico to Longmont is a long-distance move of roughly 1,044 road miles, heading east from California to Colorado.

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 $5,510 to $8,200 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 18 h 42 min.

On the Chico side there are 47 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (22 of them authorized for interstate work), and 80 around Longmont (21 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 Longmont.

Chico has a population of about 105,081 and Longmont about 100,109. The two cities have comparable density (2,976 and 3,434 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Labor and living costs run lower in Colorado than in California, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Chico to Longmont?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,210 to $3,280 for a studio, $3,310 to $4,920 for a one-bedroom, $5,510 to $8,200 for a two-bedroom, $8,820 to $13,120 for a three-bedroom and $12,130 to $18,040 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Longmont from Chico?

About 1,044 road miles (884 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 18 h 42 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from California 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.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Chico to Longmont?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,520 to $2,150 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,950 to $2,870. 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.

When is the least expensive time to book this move?

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 Chico–Longmont corridor.
