Lynn, MA → Providence, RI · Short-haul move
About 60 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,480–$2,200, delivery in 1–2 days, 403 carriers on the Lynn side and 330 in Providence.
Moving from Lynn to Providence is a short-haul move of roughly 60 road miles, heading southwest from Massachusetts to Rhode Island.
Because the two cities are close together, most companies quote this move by the hour: a crew of two to four movers plus a truck, with the drive of about 1 h 44 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,480 and $2,200, before packing or storage.
On the Lynn side there are 403 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (224 of them authorized for interstate work), and 330 around Providence (253 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 Providence.
Lynn has a population of about 104,236 and Providence about 195,310. The two cities have comparable density (9,463 and 10,377 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Labor and living costs run lower in Rhode Island than in Massachusetts, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

About 60 road miles (51 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 1 h 44 min.
For a move this short, loading and delivery normally happen on the same day. Most crews finish a two-bedroom home in 5 to 8 hours plus the drive.
Yes. Crossing from Massachusetts into Rhode Island 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.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $210 to $300 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,070 to $1,580. 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.
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 Lynn–Providence corridor.
