Portsmouth sits about 1,366 miles east of Jefferson City, which makes this an interstate relocation from Missouri to New Hampshire that most movers classify as a 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 $5,590 to $8,310 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 24 hours (3 driving days).
On the Jefferson City side there are 43 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (29 of them authorized for interstate work), and 51 around Portsmouth (38 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 Portsmouth.
Jefferson City has a population of about 43,000 and Portsmouth about 23,000. The two cities have comparable density (1,199 and 1,402 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. New Hampshire is a higher-cost state than Missouri, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. New Hampshire levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.
