STATE MOVE GUIDE
Plan the Corridor Before the Calendar.
Colorado is the farthest state Murdock’s runs on a regular route, and the lane reflects that: from Chico or Yuba City, the drive crosses Nevada and Utah on I-80 before dropping onto I-70 through the Rockies into Denver, or continuing south to Colorado Springs. It is a multi-day haul with real elevation changes on both ends, and we plan Colorado moves around that reality rather than treating the drive like a shorter in-state relocation. We run this corridor under our own USDOT 3421940 and MC 1416634 authority, meaning the Murdock’s crew that packs your home in the Sacramento Valley is the same crew that delivers it in Colorado.
Mountain weather is the defining factor on this lane nearly year-round, not just in winter. The I-70 corridor through the Rockies can close or slow with snow well into spring and see sudden storms in fall, so we build extra transit days into every Denver and Colorado Springs schedule and stay in contact if conditions shift the delivery window. In clear weather, a full household typically arrives in three to four days from pickup.
Denver draws a steady wave of Sacramento Valley families chasing tech, aerospace, and finance jobs along the Front Range, while Colorado Springs pulls military families and defense-sector workers connected to the area's bases. Murdock’s has run this route enough to plan around Denver's downtown loading permits and Colorado Springs' higher-elevation delivery logistics.
- Colorado's income tax structure and generally lower cost of living beat California for most households on the Front Range
- Home prices in Colorado Springs and outlying Denver suburbs remain more attainable than comparable Sacramento Valley markets
- Denver's booming tech, aerospace, and finance sectors are pulling Northern California professionals to the Front Range
- Colorado Springs' concentration of military bases and defense contractors offers stable, well-paying work
- Year-round access to mountain recreation, from ski resorts to hiking trails minutes from either city
- 300+ days of sunshine a year gives Colorado a different climate profile than the fog-prone Sacramento Valley winters
AVAILABLE GUIDES
Routes to Colorado.
Does Murdock’s move households from the Sacramento Valley to Colorado?
Yes. Murdock’s runs interstate moves to Denver and Colorado Springs under our own USDOT 3421940 and MC 1416634 authority, handling the full move with our own trucks and crews the entire way.
How long does a move from Chico or Yuba City to Denver take?
Most Denver-area deliveries take three to four days from pickup because of the distance and the I-70 mountain crossing. We confirm your exact pickup and delivery window during your estimate.
Does mountain weather affect Colorado moves?
Yes, nearly year-round. The I-70 corridor through the Rockies can slow or close with snow from fall through spring, so we build extra transit time into every Colorado schedule and update you if conditions shift your delivery date.
Can Murdock’s deliver to Colorado Springs, not just Denver?
Yes. Colorado Springs is a core lane alongside Denver, and we plan delivery logistics separately for its higher elevation and its concentration of military and defense-sector households.
Will one company handle my entire move to Colorado?
Yes. Because Murdock’s operates under its own interstate authority, a single Murdock’s crew loads your home in the Sacramento Valley and delivers it in Colorado, with no broker or second carrier involved.
