Reverse: Augusta → Lowell

The route from Lowell, MA to Augusta, ME covers roughly 167 miles by road, a northeast-bound trip that falls into the regional 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 $2,420 to $3,600 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 2 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 3 h 35 min.

On the Lowell side there are 215 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (152 of them authorized for interstate work), and 129 around Augusta (50 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 Augusta.

Lowell has a population of about 119,971 and Augusta about 19,000. Lowell is considerably denser (8,497 people per square mile versus 343), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Labor and living costs run lower in Maine than in Massachusetts, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Lowell to Augusta?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,370 to $2,030 for a studio, $1,450 to $2,160 for a one-bedroom, $2,420 to $3,600 for a two-bedroom, $3,870 to $5,760 for a three-bedroom and $5,330 to $7,920 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Augusta from Lowell?

About 167 road miles (142 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 3 h 35 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 1 to 2 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 Massachusetts 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 Lowell to Augusta?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $320 to $450 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,170 to $1,720. 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 Lowell–Augusta corridor.
