Astoria, OR → Hillsboro, OR · Short-haul move
About 73 road miles heading southeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,470–$2,190, delivery in 1–2 days, 11 carriers on the Astoria side and 165 in Hillsboro.
The route from Astoria, OR to Hillsboro, OR covers roughly 73 miles by road, a southeast-bound trip that falls into the short-haul move category for pricing purposes.
Because the two cities are close together, most companies quote this move by the hour: a crew of two to four movers plus a truck, with the drive of about 1 h 58 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,470 and $2,190, before packing or storage.
On the Astoria side there are 11 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (8 of them authorized for interstate work), and 165 around Hillsboro (95 interstate). For an in-state move you can book from either end; movers near the origin handle loading and are usually the better first call, while a destination-side company can be useful if you need storage or delivery-day help in Hillsboro.
Astoria has a population of about 10,000 and Hillsboro about 111,126. Hillsboro is the denser city (4,142 people per square mile versus 1,667 in Astoria), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

For a move this short, loading and delivery normally happen on the same day. Most crews finish a two-bedroom home in 5 to 8 hours plus the drive.
No. Because both Astoria and Hillsboro are in Oregon, this is an intrastate move regulated by the state rather than the FMCSA. Still, choosing a carrier with an active USDOT number is the easiest way to confirm the company is a registered motor carrier with insurance on file.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $220 to $320 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,090 to $1,600. Both save money versus a full-service crew but you do the loading, and container transit can take longer than a mover's delivery window.
Rates are highest in summer and around the last days of any month, when demand peaks. Mid-month, mid-week and winter dates are usually quoted below the standard rate. Booking four to eight weeks ahead gives you the widest choice of carriers on the Astoria–Hillsboro corridor.
