The route
A genuine long haul at 1,756 miles from Colorado to Maryland. 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 $7,902 – $10,536 instead of scaling straight with distance, and also why there is more handling and a looser schedule.

How these figures are calculated
At the Baltimore end
For a local crew after delivery, the largest licensed carriers within 30 miles of Baltimore: Perry Moving Services (Baltimore, 28 trucks), Two Men and A Truck Annapolis MD (Columbia, 23 trucks), Bookstore Movers LLC (Hyattsville, 23 trucks), Good Season Moving LLC (Reisterstown, 20 trucks).
Rules that apply to this move
Because the truck crosses from Colorado into Maryland, 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 Baltimore
Insist on a survey
Over 1,756 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 1,756 miles of handling.
Arriving in Baltimore
A local move inside Baltimore later — across town, out of temporary housing — is billed by the hour: about $485 – $803 for a two-bedroom home and $813 – $1,479 for three bedrooms. The nearest cities we cover from Baltimore are Annapolis (about 26 mi), Washington (about 42 mi), Arlington (about 45 mi).
