How freight moves in Colorado
Freight in Colorado runs on I-25, I-70, I-76 and I-225. The state's economy leans on oil and gas, aerospace and defense, agriculture and beef and mining and construction materials, and that is most of what moves on its roads.

Questions about shipping in Colorado
How do you ship a car in Colorado?
Tell us the pickup and delivery addresses, the vehicle and whether it runs. A vetted carrier with the right trailer picks it up at the door, the driver documents its condition, and you get a confirmed pickup window before anything moves.
Do you ship cars to every city in Colorado?
Yes. Aurora, Colorado Springs, Denver and Fort Collins are the busiest pickup points, and any address in the state works.
How long do I have to register a car after moving to Colorado?
New residents have 90 days after establishing residency to title and register a vehicle, with a VIN verification (Form DR 2698) done by law enforcement, a licensed Colorado dealer or an emissions station, plus an emissions test for vehicles more than seven model years old in designated emissions counties. Confirm the details for your case with the state's motor vehicle office.
