The route from Duluth, MN to Lakewood, CO covers roughly 961 miles by road, a southwest-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 $4,770 to $7,100 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 17 h 16 min.

On the Duluth side there are 57 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (26 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1,122 around Lakewood (405 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 Lakewood.

Duluth has a population of about 86,000 and Lakewood about 156,927. Lakewood is the denser city (3,586 people per square mile versus 1,210 in Duluth), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Duluth to Lakewood?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,910 to $2,840 for a studio, $2,860 to $4,260 for a one-bedroom, $4,770 to $7,100 for a two-bedroom, $7,640 to $11,370 for a three-bedroom and $10,500 to $15,630 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Lakewood from Duluth?

About 961 road miles (814 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 17 h 16 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 2 to 5 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 Minnesota 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 Duluth to Lakewood?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,440 to $2,030 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,880 to $2,760. 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 Duluth–Lakewood corridor.
