Aspen sits about 686 miles southeast of Meridian, which makes this an interstate relocation from Idaho 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 $4,000 to $5,950 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 12 h 32 min.
On the Meridian side there are 176 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (130 of them authorized for interstate work), and 29 around Aspen (9 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 Aspen.
Meridian has a population of about 142,988 and Aspen about 7,000. Meridian is considerably denser (3,351 people per square mile versus 1,813), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Colorado is a higher-cost state than Idaho, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.
