Providence, RI → Longmont, CO · Cross-country move
About 2,064 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $7,290–$10,850, delivery in 5–10 days, 330 carriers on the Providence side and 80 in Longmont.
Longmont sits about 2,064 miles west of Providence, which makes this an interstate relocation from Rhode Island to Colorado that most movers classify as a cross-country 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 $7,290 to $10,850 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 5 to 10 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 36 hours (5 driving days).
On the Providence side there are 330 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (253 of them authorized for interstate work), and 80 around Longmont (21 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 Longmont.
Providence has a population of about 195,310 and Longmont about 100,109. Providence is considerably denser (10,377 people per square mile versus 3,434), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

About 2,064 road miles (1,749 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 36 hours (5 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 5 to 10 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 Rhode Island 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 $2,870 to $4,050 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,860 to $4,210. 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 Providence–Longmont corridor.
