Monroe, LA → Centennial, CO · Long-distance move
About 1,020 road miles heading northwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,700–$6,990, delivery in 3–7 days, 49 carriers on the Monroe side and 826 in Centennial.
The route from Monroe, LA to Centennial, CO covers roughly 1,020 miles by road, a northwest-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 $4,700 to $6,990 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 17 min.
On the Monroe side there are 49 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (26 of them authorized for interstate work), and 826 around Centennial (318 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 Centennial.
Monroe has a population of about 46,000 and Centennial about 108,658. Centennial is the denser city (3,650 people per square mile versus 1,604 in Monroe), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Colorado is a higher-cost state than Louisiana, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 1,020 road miles (864 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 18 h 17 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 Louisiana 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 $1,500 to $2,110 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,930 to $2,840. 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 Monroe–Centennial corridor.
