Fairfax, VA → Worcester, MA · Regional long-distance move
About 439 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,560–$5,290, delivery in 1–3 days, 534 carriers on the Fairfax side and 226 in Worcester.
Moving from Fairfax to Worcester is a regional long-distance move of roughly 439 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 $3,560 to $5,290 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 8 h 16 min.
On the Fairfax side there are 534 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (383 of them authorized for interstate work), and 226 around Worcester (135 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 Worcester.
Fairfax has a population of about 25,000 and Worcester about 213,862. Worcester is the denser city (5,522 people per square mile versus 3,869 in Fairfax), 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.

About 439 road miles (372 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 8 h 16 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 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.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $600 to $850 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,410 to $2,080. 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 Fairfax–Worcester corridor.
