Concord, NC → Alexandria, VA · Regional long-distance move
About 362 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,910–$4,330, delivery in 1–3 days, 441 carriers on the Concord side and 1,203 in Alexandria.
Alexandria sits about 362 miles northeast of Concord, which makes this an interstate relocation from North Carolina to Virginia that most movers classify as a regional long-distance move.
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 $2,910 to $4,330 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 6 h 57 min.
On the Concord side there are 441 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (326 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1,203 around Alexandria (740 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 Alexandria.
Concord has a population of about 114,598 and Alexandria about 160,662. Alexandria is the denser city (10,702 people per square mile versus 1,657 in Concord), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Virginia is a higher-cost state than North Carolina, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 362 road miles (307 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 6 h 57 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 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 North Carolina into Virginia 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 $520 to $740 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,340 to $1,980. 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 Concord–Alexandria corridor.
