The route from Lakewood, CO to Fort Worth, TX covers roughly 760 miles by road, a southeast-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 $4,150 to $6,170 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 48 min.

On the Lakewood side there are 1,122 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (405 of them authorized for interstate work), and 2,811 around Fort Worth (1,207 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 Fort Worth.

Lakewood has a population of about 156,927 and Fort Worth about 1 million. Lakewood is considerably denser (3,586 people per square mile versus 2,646), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Labor and living costs run lower in Texas than in Colorado, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home. Texas levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Lakewood to Fort Worth?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,660 to $2,470 for a studio, $2,490 to $3,700 for a one-bedroom, $4,150 to $6,170 for a two-bedroom, $6,640 to $9,870 for a three-bedroom and $9,130 to $13,580 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Fort Worth from Lakewood?

About 760 road miles (644 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 13 h 48 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 Colorado into Texas 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 Lakewood to Fort Worth?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,080 to $1,530 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,700 to $2,500. 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 Lakewood–Fort Worth corridor.
