The route from Gainesville, FL to Newport News, VA covers roughly 721 miles by road, a northeast-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 $4,070 to $6,050 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 13 h 8 min.
On the Gainesville side there are 151 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (59 of them authorized for interstate work), and 168 around Newport News (89 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 Newport News.
Gainesville has a population of about 148,671 and Newport News about 183,230. The two cities have comparable density (2,232 and 2,699 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Note that Virginia does collect a state income tax, unlike Florida, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.
