Affordable Movers in Divide, CO
Ballard’s is a labor-only moving company. You arrange your own U-Haul, Penske, or Budget truck — or we handle the rental. Either way, our crew shows up and does all the loading and unloading. No full-service markup. Just labor, billed by the hour.
Divide sits at nearly 9,200 feet on Highway 24 — the junction where Ute Pass meets the road down to Cripple Creek. It’s a small, rural community, and the people who live there chose it deliberately: land, pine forest, quiet, and real distance from everything else. Properties run multiple acres. Gravel roads are common. Mueller State Park is down the road. Most moving companies don’t come this far — that’s not an accident. It’s a harder job, and most aren’t equipped for it.
Mountain moves require planning that flat-city jobs don’t. Driveways in Divide are often long and unpaved. Truck positioning can be a puzzle. The elevation — nearly two miles up — pushes a crew harder than work in the Springs. An experienced team that operates at altitude regularly keeps the job on schedule. We assess access conditions before every Divide move and size the truck to match what the property actually requires.
Truck rentals typically run $19.95–$49.95 — you pay that directly to the rental company, or we can handle it. Our crew rate is $200/hr with a 2-hour minimum. No drive-time charge, no rural surcharge, no add-ons. Compared to what a full-service company quotes for a mountain move, the difference is significant.
We run Highway 24 constantly — Woodland Park, Divide, Cripple Creek. We know the route and we know what these moves involve. Licensed and insured in Colorado. The rate we quote is the rate you pay.

The Smarter Way to Move
Why Divide Residents Choose Labor-Only Moving
Most moving companies won’t drive to Divide. Those that will charge a premium for it — travel fees, fuel surcharges, minimum hours that pad the bill before a single box is touched. Ballard’s approaches it differently. Arrange for a U-Haul, Penske, or Budget truck — typically $19.95–$49.95 depending on size — or let us handle the rental. Either way, you pay a straightforward hourly labor rate with no hidden fees and no rural surcharge.
People who choose to live in Divide have made a deliberate choice about what matters to them. They tend to be self-sufficient, practical, and clear-eyed about value. Labor-only moving fits that mindset exactly: you handle the logistics you can handle, we handle the physical work that requires a trained crew, and the total cost is a fraction of what a full-service company would charge.
We run Ute Pass constantly — Woodland Park, Divide, Cripple Creek. We know the route, the altitude, and the terrain. When we quote a Divide move, it’s based on real knowledge, not a guess. We show up prepared for what the job actually involves.
Cabin or mountain home, small load or full household — the model is the same: our experienced crew, your truck, no hidden fees, and no surprises when the job wraps up.
