The route
A genuine long haul at 1,477 miles from Colorado to Georgia. 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 $6,647 – $8,862 instead of scaling straight with distance, and also why there is more handling and a looser schedule.

Worked example: a two-bedroom home, Denver to Atlanta
1,477 miles × 2.0 (two-bedroom size multiplier) × $2.50 (full-service rate) = $7,385. The range runs 10% under that to 20% over: $6,647 to $8,862, transport only. Every parameter is on the methodology page; moving cost per mile explains why the rate falls with distance.
How many people move from Denver to Atlanta
The Census Bureau's American Community Survey (2016–2020) estimates that about 9 people a year (±15) moved from Denver County, CO, home to Denver, to Fulton County, GA, home to Atlanta. The margin of error is as large as the estimate, so read it as a handful of households rather than a count. Going the other way: about 352 people a year (±222). Movers from Denver County make up 0.0% of the 89,782 people a year who moved into Fulton County from another county or state.
At state level, the 2024 survey counts about 4,594 people a year (±1,813) moving from Colorado to Georgia and about 3,896 people a year (±1,574) from Georgia to Colorado — a net gain for Georgia of about 698 people a year.

How these figures are calculated
At the Atlanta end
For a local crew after delivery, the largest licensed carriers within 30 miles of Atlanta: Bulldog Movers Inc (Doraville, 57 trucks), Atlanta Peach Movers Inc (Doraville, 39 trucks), Moveret Logistics Inc (Duluth, 31 trucks), Colonial Van Lines Inc (Atlanta, 27 trucks).
Rules that apply to this move
Because the truck crosses from Colorado into Georgia, 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 Denver to Atlanta
Insist on a survey
Over 1,477 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 1,477 miles of handling.
Arriving in Atlanta
A local move inside Atlanta later — across town, out of temporary housing — is billed by the hour: about $455 – $747 for a two-bedroom home and $759 – $1,371 for three bedrooms. The nearest cities we cover from Atlanta are Columbus (about 105 mi), Chattanooga (about 121 mi), Greenville (about 159 mi).
