The route
A genuine long haul at 1,800 miles from Colorado to Florida. 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 $8,100 – $10,800 instead of scaling straight with distance, and also why there is more handling and a looser schedule.

Worked example: a two-bedroom home, Aurora to Orlando
1,800 miles × 2.0 (two-bedroom size multiplier) × $2.50 (full-service rate) = $9,000. The range runs 10% under that to 20% over: $8,100 to $10,800, transport only. Every parameter is on the methodology page; moving cost per mile explains why the rate falls with distance.

How these figures are calculated
At the Orlando end
For a local crew after delivery, the largest licensed carriers within 30 miles of Orlando: 1st Class Moving and Storage (Orlando, 16 trucks), Sebastian Moving and More LLC (Apopka, 16 trucks), Two Men and A Truck Seminole County (Casselberry, 14 trucks), Central Moving & Storage Inc (Orlando, 11 trucks).
Rules that apply to this move
Because the truck crosses from Colorado into Florida, 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 Orlando
Insist on a survey
Over 1,800 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 1,800 miles of handling.
Arriving in Orlando
A local move inside Orlando later — across town, out of temporary housing — is billed by the hour: about $455 – $733 for a two-bedroom home and $759 – $1,344 for three bedrooms. The nearest cities we cover from Orlando are Tampa (about 90 mi), Saint Petersburg (about 110 mi), Gainesville (about 114 mi).
