Grand Junction, CO → Longmont, CO · Regional long-distance move
About 235 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,620–$3,900, delivery in 1–2 days, 67 carriers on the Grand Junction side and 80 in Longmont.
Longmont sits about 235 miles northeast of Grand Junction, so this is an in-state move that most movers classify as a regional 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 $2,620 to $3,900 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 2 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 4 h 45 min.
On the Grand Junction side there are 67 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (30 of them authorized for interstate work), and 80 around Longmont (21 interstate). For an in-state 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.
Grand Junction has a population of about 70,000 and Longmont about 100,109. Longmont is the denser city (3,434 people per square mile versus 1,614 in Grand Junction), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

About 235 road miles (199 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 4 h 45 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 2 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.
No. Because both Grand Junction and Longmont are in Colorado, this is an intrastate move regulated by the state rather than the FMCSA. Still, choosing a carrier with an active USDOT number is the easiest way to confirm the company is a registered motor carrier with insurance on file.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $390 to $550 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,230 to $1,810. 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 Grand Junction–Longmont corridor.
