“We Move Anywhere is a Scam. They explicitly told me they will be moving me, but come to find out they only own 1 truck (they dont use) and they subbed my move out to WAY TO GO Inc. I feel like they intentionally mislead me because the only service they "actually" promise you is that a mover will…”

“What impressed me most was how smoothly everything went. The crew responded instantly to one another's signals and demands and worked together as a well-trained team, without constant supervision. I know they took pride in doing things right. All thanks to their professionalism!”

“If you see Brightside Moving you need to start running as they are the worst moving non moving brokers ever!! Deceptive at so many levels absolutely nothing they said or promised was true. Promise to deliver within 48 hour then changed to 3-10 days low and behold we finally received our furniture…”
What went wrong on this run: of 41 reviews, 34% mention damage and 17% a delay or a no-show. Reviewer-reported, counted by phrase.
Who makes this move
The reverse flow is larger: 27,574 people moved from Texas to Colorado in the same year.
Census counts both directions. ACS 2024 puts 22,986 people moving from Colorado to Texas, with a margin of plus or minus 4,909. The reverse flow is larger: 27,574 people moved from Texas to Colorado in the same year. These figures count people in the survey, not truck bookings.
Price levels differ at each end. BEA price parity for 2024 sets the United States at 100. Colorado sits at 103.1 and Texas at 97.1. Colorado taxes wages and Texas does not tax wages. The gap is a cost fact, not a reason listed in the move counts.
What the job looks like
34% mention damage and 17% mention a delay or a no-show.
Most common run in our file. The run we see most is Denver to Dallas, 796 miles, about 14 hours of driving. Days on the road depend on the carrier schedule and the delivery window on the order for service. Long-distance household goods are priced by weight and miles, so two homes of different size on this same pair will not share one price.
What the reviews report. Our file has 41 reviews for this lane. The median reported price is $5,800 across 41 priced reviews, and the middle half runs from $4,000 to $8,000. Prices mix home sizes and distances. 34% mention damage and 17% mention a delay or a no-show.
Before you book
On a non-binding estimate the mover must deliver on payment of 110 percent of the estimate.
Check the license first. Interstate household moves need a mover with an active USDOT number and FMCSA household-goods authority. Use the license lookup before you pay anyone on this run. Haulest is not a carrier and does not haul the load.
Get the estimate in writing. Ask whether the price is binding or a not-to-exceed figure, and read it the way our estimate guide lays out. On a non-binding estimate the mover must deliver on payment of 110 percent of the estimate. See the 110 percent rule for how that payment works.
Write down the window and the deposit. Delivery is a window set on the order for service, so get that window in writing before pickup. Deposit terms should be on the same paperwork. Our deposit guide covers what to check before money leaves your account.
