Memphis, TN → Greeley, CO · Long-distance move
About 1,046 road miles heading northwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,810–$7,150, delivery in 3–7 days, 534 carriers on the Memphis side and 112 in Greeley.
Greeley sits about 1,046 miles northwest of Memphis, which makes this an interstate relocation from Tennessee 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 $4,810 to $7,150 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 18 h 44 min.
On the Memphis side there are 534 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (397 of them authorized for interstate work), and 112 around Greeley (61 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 Greeley.
Memphis has a population of about 609,647 and Greeley about 115,073. The two cities have comparable density (2,132 and 2,225 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Colorado is a higher-cost state than Tennessee, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. Note that Colorado does collect a state income tax, unlike Tennessee, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 1,046 road miles (886 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 18 h 44 min.
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 Tennessee 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 $1,520 to $2,150 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,950 to $2,870. 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 Memphis–Greeley corridor.
