About 736 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,620–$6,880, delivery in 2–5 days, 67 carriers on the Grand Junction side and 679 in West Covina.
The route from Grand Junction, CO to West Covina, CA covers roughly 736 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 $4,620 to $6,880 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 13 h 23 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 679 around West Covina (300 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 West Covina.
Grand Junction has a population of about 70,000 and West Covina about 105,301. West Covina is the denser city (6,844 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. California is a higher-cost state than Colorado, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 736 road miles (624 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 13 h 23 min.
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.
Yes. Crossing from Colorado into California 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 $1,060 to $1,490 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,680 to $2,470. 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–West Covina corridor.
