Moab, UT → Lakewood, CO · Regional long-distance move
About 295 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,780–$4,130, delivery in 1–3 days, 1 carriers on the Moab side and 1,122 in Lakewood.
Moving from Moab to Lakewood is a regional long-distance move of roughly 295 road miles, heading east from Utah to Colorado.
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 $2,780 to $4,130 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 5 h 47 min.
On the Moab side there are 1 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (1 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.
Moab has a population of about 5,000 and Lakewood about 156,927. Lakewood is the denser city (3,586 people per square mile versus 1,118 in Moab), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

About 295 road miles (250 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 5 h 47 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 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 Utah 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 $450 to $640 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,280 to $1,890. 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 Moab–Lakewood corridor.
