Concord, NC → Wilmington, NC · Regional long-distance move
About 208 road miles heading southeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,260–$3,360, delivery in 1–2 days, 441 carriers on the Concord side and 93 in Wilmington.
Wilmington sits about 208 miles southeast of Concord, so this is an in-state move 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 $2,260 to $3,360 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 4 h 17 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 93 around Wilmington (53 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 Wilmington.
Concord has a population of about 114,598 and Wilmington about 126,809. Wilmington is the denser city (2,246 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 208 road miles (176 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 4 h 17 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 Wilmington 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 $360 to $510 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,210 to $1,770. 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–Wilmington corridor.
