The route
A genuine long haul at 1,220 miles from Alabama to Colorado. Almost all of these move as consolidated freight: your goods share a trailer and the carrier quotes 7 to 14 days rather than a date. It is why a two-bedroom home here runs $5,490 – $7,320 instead of scaling straight with distance, and also why there is more handling and a looser schedule.

How these figures are calculated
At the Colorado Springs end
For a local crew after delivery, the largest licensed carriers within 30 miles of Colorado Springs: Pikes Peak Moving & Storage LLC (Colorado Sprgs, 87 trucks), Arrow Moving & Storage of Colorado Inc (Colorado Springs, 15 trucks), Fatboy Slims Moving Company LLC (Colorado Springs, 11 trucks), College Hunks Hauling Junk and College Hunks Moving (Colorado Springs, 9 trucks).
Rules that apply to this move
Because the truck crosses from Alabama into Colorado, 49 CFR Part 375 applies: a written estimate before loading, no more than 110% of a non-binding estimate collected at delivery, and full-value protection unless you choose released value in writing. See binding vs non-binding estimates and valuation explained.
Before you book Huntsville to Colorado Springs
Insist on a survey
Over 1,220 miles the price is driven almost entirely by weight. A quote given without a video or in-home survey is a guess that gets revised upward on loading day, and at this distance the revision is expensive.
Keep full-value protection
It is the default on an interstate move. Signing it away for released value means 60 cents per pound, about $18 for a 30 lb television, after 1,220 miles of handling.
Arriving in Colorado Springs
A local move inside Colorado Springs later — across town, out of temporary housing — is billed by the hour: about $525 – $859 for a two-bedroom home and $885 – $1,587 for three bedrooms. The nearest cities we cover from Colorado Springs are Aurora (about 73 mi), Denver (about 74 mi), Fort Collins (about 139 mi).
