Yuba City → Colorado Springs. One Move Plan.

Colorado Springs runs the same backbone as our Denver lane for the first 1,235 miles — I-80 E out of Yuba City over Donner Summit, across the Nevada high desert through Reno and Elko, through Wyoming's wind corridor at Cheyenne — but it doesn't stop at Denver. Our crew continues south on I-25 through the Denver metro's midday traffic and another roughly 70 miles down the Front Range to Colorado Springs, putting the total haul at just over 1,300 miles.

That extra stretch south of Denver climbs steadily in elevation, with Colorado Springs itself sitting at 6,035 feet — noticeably higher than Denver's mile-high mark — and Pikes Peak looming over the western edge of the city at over 14,000 feet. It's a scenic final leg, but our drivers plan for it: afternoon thunderstorms build fast along the Front Range in summer, and the I-25 corridor through downtown Denver can add real time to the drive if we hit it during rush hour, so we schedule departure windows to clear that stretch outside peak congestion.

Murdock’s runs this whole route as one dedicated haul under our own USDOT# 3421940 and MC# 1416634, with your household goods on one truck from load-in in Yuba City to delivery at your Colorado Springs door — no reloading onto a different carrier's trailer at a Denver terminal. Given the added mileage past Denver, most Colorado Springs loads land door-to-door in three to four days. Pricing is flat-rate and all-in, quoted up front, so the extra 70 miles past Denver never shows up as a surprise line item at delivery.

Colorado Springs draws a different mix of relocators than Denver — a heavy concentration of military families tied to Fort Carson, Peterson Space Force Base, and the U.S. Air Force Academy, alongside a growing defense and aerospace sector anchored by Space Command's presence at Cheyenne Mountain. Our crews deliver a lot of PCS moves into this market, and we coordinate around base housing timelines and government paperwork more often here than on any other Colorado lane.

Inside the city, Old Colorado City keeps a walkable, historic-district feel with older brick storefronts and bungalow-style homes nearby, while the Broadmoor area to the south carries some of the city's largest lots and highest home values, framed by direct views of Cheyenne Mountain. Rockrimmon and Briargate to the north are newer, suburban-style developments popular with military and aerospace families for their proximity to Peterson SFB and the Air Force Academy. Downtown itself has seen a wave of loft and condo conversions with the same loading-dock coordination we handle on any dense urban delivery.

North and south of the core, Monument and Falcon offer larger lots with a more rural feel and mountain views, while Security-Widefield and Fountain run more affordable and sit closest to Fort Carson. Cost of living in Colorado Springs runs noticeably below Denver on housing while still delivering Front Range mountain access, which is a frequent deciding factor for families comparing the two Colorado metros before booking their move.
