The route from Lafayette, IN to Portland, ME covers roughly 1,042 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 $4,630 to $6,890 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 18 h 40 min.
On the Lafayette side there are 55 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (44 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.
Lafayette has a population of about 72,000 and Portland about 69,000. Portland is the denser city (3,176 people per square mile versus 2,409 in Lafayette), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Maine is a higher-cost state than Indiana, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.
