The route from Duluth, MN to Portland, ME covers roughly 1,282 miles by road, a east-bound trip that falls into the long-distance move category for pricing purposes.
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 $5,460 to $8,120 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 22 h 48 min.
On the Duluth side there are 57 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (26 of them authorized for interstate work), and 113 around Portland (63 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 Portland.
Duluth has a population of about 86,000 and Portland about 69,000. Portland is the denser city (3,176 people per square mile versus 1,210 in Duluth), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.
