Concord, NC → Durham, NC · Short-haul move
About 124 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,970–$2,920, delivery in 1–2 days, 441 carriers on the Concord side and 338 in Durham.
Moving from Concord to Durham is a short-haul move of roughly 124 road miles, heading northeast within North Carolina.
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 2 h 50 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,970 and $2,920, before packing or storage.
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 338 around Durham (194 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 Durham.
Concord has a population of about 114,598 and Durham about 305,561. Durham is the denser city (2,513 people per square mile versus 1,657 in Concord), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

About 124 road miles (106 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 2 h 50 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.
No. Because both Concord and Durham are in North Carolina, 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 $280 to $390 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,130 to $1,660. 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–Durham corridor.
