Missoula, MT → Lakewood, CO · Long-distance move
About 788 road miles heading southeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,260–$6,340, delivery in 2–5 days, 35 carriers on the Missoula side and 1,122 in Lakewood.
Lakewood sits about 788 miles southeast of Missoula, which makes this an interstate relocation from Montana 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 $4,260 to $6,340 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 14 h 17 min.
On the Missoula side there are 35 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (24 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1,122 around Lakewood (405 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 Lakewood.
Missoula has a population of about 76,000 and Lakewood about 156,927. Lakewood is the denser city (3,586 people per square mile versus 2,111 in Missoula), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Colorado is a higher-cost state than Montana, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 788 road miles (667 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 14 h 17 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 Montana 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 $1,110 to $1,570 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,720 to $2,530. 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 Missoula–Lakewood corridor.
