Moving from Chesapeake to Quincy is a long-distance move of roughly 564 road miles, heading northeast from Virginia 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 $3,980 to $5,930 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 10 h 25 min.

On the Chesapeake side there are 321 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (201 of them authorized for interstate work), and 456 around Quincy (277 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 Quincy.

Chesapeake has a population of about 255,332 and Quincy about 103,173. Quincy is the denser city (6,123 people per square mile versus 737 in Chesapeake), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Massachusetts is a higher-cost state than Virginia, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Chesapeake to Quincy?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,590 to $2,370 for a studio, $2,390 to $3,560 for a one-bedroom, $3,980 to $5,930 for a two-bedroom, $6,370 to $9,480 for a three-bedroom and $8,760 to $13,040 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Quincy from Chesapeake?

About 564 road miles (478 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 10 h 25 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 2 to 5 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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Virginia 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.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Chesapeake to Quincy?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $880 to $1,240 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,520 to $2,240. 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.

When is the least expensive time to book this move?

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 Chesapeake–Quincy corridor.
