Marietta, GA → Newport News, VA · Long-distance move
About 590 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,660–$5,450, delivery in 2–5 days, 801 carriers on the Marietta side and 168 in Newport News.
Moving from Marietta to Newport News is a long-distance move of roughly 590 road miles, heading northeast from Georgia to 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 $3,660 to $5,450 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 10 h 52 min.
On the Marietta side there are 801 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (372 of them authorized for interstate work), and 168 around Newport News (89 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 Newport News.
Marietta has a population of about 62,000 and Newport News about 183,230. The two cities have comparable density (2,594 and 2,699 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

About 590 road miles (500 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 10 h 52 min.
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.
Yes. Crossing from Georgia into 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.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $910 to $1,280 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,550 to $2,270. 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 Marietta–Newport News corridor.
