Affordable Movers in Pueblo, CO
Ballard’s is a labor-only moving company. You arrange the truck — U-Haul, Penske, or Budget — or we handle the rental for you. Our crew shows up and does all the loading and unloading. No full-service markup. The hourly rate is the hourly rate.
Pueblo is 45 miles south of Colorado Springs on I-25, and it carries its history plainly. CF&I built this city. Rocky Mountain Steel kept it alive. The Arkansas Riverwalk got a second life. Housing here is the most affordable on the Front Range — not because the city is struggling, but because it was never trying to be something it isn’t. We know Bessemer, Belmont, Pueblo West, and the neighborhoods in between.
Older Pueblo homes move differently than new construction. Hallways are narrower. Stairways have tighter turns. Rooms weren’t built for modern bedroom sets. We account for that before we touch anything — walk the space, plan the carry, move efficiently without forcing it. That’s experience, not luck.
Truck rentals run $19.95–$49.95 depending on size. Our rate is $175/hr with a 2-hour minimum. Most Pueblo moves wrap in 2–3 hours. Full-service companies quote $1,500–$2,000 for the same job. The math is straightforward.
We run I-25 to Pueblo regularly. No drive-time charges, no travel fees. We’re licensed and insured in Colorado. The rate we quote is the rate you pay.

The Smarter Way to Move
Why Pueblo Residents Choose Labor-Only Moving
Full-service moving companies charge for the truck, the fuel, the insurance markup, the drive time to your location, and often fees that don’t appear until the invoice. Labor-only moving strips all of that out. Arrange for a U-Haul, Penske, or Budget truck — typically $19.95–$49.95 depending on size — or let Ballard’s handle the rental. Either way, you pay only for the professional crew doing the actual loading and unloading.
Pueblo has always been a city that respects a dollar. Labor-only moving fits that mindset. A 2–3 bedroom move that runs $1,800–$2,200 through a full-service company typically costs $600–$900 labor-only. The savings are real, the crew is professional, and the handling of your furniture is exactly the same.
We travel to Pueblo from Colorado Springs regularly, and we’ve built relationships throughout the community. Whether you’re moving within the city, relocating from the Springs, or heading out of Pueblo entirely, we bring the same experienced crew and the same work ethic to every job.
Small apartment or full house, Pueblo West or downtown — the model is the same: our crew, your truck, no hidden fees, and no surprises when the job wraps up.
