Dothan, AL → Colorado Springs, CO · Long-distance move
About 1,430 road miles heading northwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,630–$8,380, delivery in 3–7 days, 112 carriers on the Dothan side and 247 in Colorado Springs.
Colorado Springs sits about 1,430 miles northwest of Dothan, which makes this an interstate relocation from Alabama to Colorado that most movers classify as a long-distance move.
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 $5,630 to $8,380 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 25 hours (3 driving days).
On the Dothan side there are 112 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (77 of them authorized for interstate work), and 247 around Colorado Springs (70 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 Colorado Springs.
Dothan has a population of about 72,000 and Colorado Springs about 494,743. Colorado Springs is the denser city (2,451 people per square mile versus 791 in Dothan), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Colorado is a higher-cost state than Alabama, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 1,430 road miles (1,212 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 25 hours (3 driving days).
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 Alabama 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 $2,070 to $2,920 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,300 to $3,380. 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 Dothan–Colorado Springs corridor.
