Reverse: Portland → Longview

Portland sits about 1,809 miles northeast of Longview, which makes this an interstate relocation from Texas to Maine that most movers classify as a cross-country 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 $6,350 to $9,450 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 5 to 10 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 31 hours (4 driving days).

On the Longview side there are 89 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (47 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.

Longview has a population of about 82,000 and Portland about 69,000. Portland is the denser city (3,176 people per square mile versus 1,462 in Longview), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Note that Maine does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Longview to Portland?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,540 to $3,780 for a studio, $3,810 to $5,670 for a one-bedroom, $6,350 to $9,450 for a two-bedroom, $10,160 to $15,120 for a three-bedroom and $13,970 to $20,790 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Portland from Longview?

About 1,809 road miles (1,533 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 31 hours (4 driving days).

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 5 to 10 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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Texas into Maine 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.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Longview to Portland?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $2,610 to $3,680 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,630 to $3,870. 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.

When is the least expensive time to book this move?

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 Longview–Portland corridor.
