Reverse: Huntington → Lowell

Moving from Lowell to Huntington is a long-distance move of roughly 769 road miles, heading southwest from Massachusetts to West Virginia.

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 $4,250 to $6,330 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 58 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 35 around Huntington (21 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 Huntington.

Lowell has a population of about 119,971 and Huntington about 45,000. Lowell is considerably denser (8,497 people per square mile versus 2,888), 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 West Virginia 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 Huntington?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,700 to $2,530 for a studio, $2,550 to $3,800 for a one-bedroom, $4,250 to $6,330 for a two-bedroom, $6,800 to $10,120 for a three-bedroom and $9,350 to $13,920 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Huntington from Lowell?

About 769 road miles (652 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 13 h 58 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 2 to 5 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 West Virginia 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 Huntington?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,090 to $1,540 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,710 to $2,510. 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–Huntington corridor.
