Bridgeport, CT → Lowell, MA · Regional long-distance move
About 164 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,520–$3,750, delivery in 1–2 days, 447 carriers on the Bridgeport side and 215 in Lowell.
Moving from Bridgeport to Lowell is a regional long-distance move of roughly 164 road miles, heading northeast from Connecticut to Massachusetts.
At this distance carriers price by shipment weight and mileage rather than by the hour. A two-bedroom home (around 5,000 lb of goods) typically costs $2,520 to $3,750 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 2 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 3 h 32 min.
On the Bridgeport side there are 447 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (230 of them authorized for interstate work), and 215 around Lowell (152 interstate). For an interstate 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 Lowell.
Bridgeport has a population of about 152,273 and Lowell about 119,971. The two cities have comparable density (9,233 and 8,497 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Massachusetts is a higher-cost state than Connecticut, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 164 road miles (139 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 3 h 32 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 2 days after pickup. Carriers give a spread rather than a fixed date because long-distance trucks carry several shipments; a dedicated truck or expedited service shortens the window for an extra fee.
Yes. Crossing from Connecticut into Massachusetts makes this an interstate move, so the carrier must hold active FMCSA operating authority (an MC number) in addition to its USDOT number. The company cards on this page flag which carriers are authorized for interstate work.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $320 to $450 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,170 to $1,720. 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 Bridgeport–Lowell corridor.
