Timing and Seasonality
Colorado Springs has a large military community, so summer permanent-change-of-station season (about May to August) tightens carrier space. High Plains winter storms and spring thunderstorms are the main weather risks, so late spring and early fall are calmest. Start getting quotes roughly three weeks ahead for a move of 706 miles. Across Texas expect severe spring storms, Gulf hurricanes and desert heat in the west; across Colorado, heavy mountain snow on I-70 and Front Range storms.
