The route
A genuine long haul at 1,890 miles from Colorado to New York. 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 $8,505 – $11,340 instead of scaling straight with distance, and also why there is more handling and a looser schedule.

How these figures are calculated
At the New York City end
For a local crew after delivery, the largest licensed carriers within 30 miles of New York City: Piece of Cake Moving (New York City, 340 trucks), Roadway Moving (New York City, 190 trucks), Great Moving Inc (Staten Island, 70 trucks), Great Moving & Storage Inc (South Plainfiel, 70 trucks).
Rules that apply to this move
Because the truck crosses from Colorado into New York, 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 Aurora to New York City
Insist on a survey
Over 1,890 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 1,890 miles of handling.
Arriving in New York City
A local move inside New York City later — across town, out of temporary housing — is billed by the hour: about $515 – $845 for a two-bedroom home and $867 – $1,560 for three bedrooms. The nearest cities we cover from New York City are Jersey City (about 3 mi), Newark (about 10 mi), Paterson (about 19 mi).
