The route
A genuine long haul at 1,385 miles from Georgia 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 $6,233 – $8,310 instead of scaling straight with distance, and also why there is more handling and a looser schedule.

Rules that apply to this move
Because the truck crosses from Georgia 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 Atlanta to Colorado Springs
Insist on a survey
Over 1,385 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 1,385 miles of handling.

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.
