New Bedford, MA → Burlington, VT · Regional long-distance move
About 268 road miles heading northwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,860–$4,260, delivery in 1–3 days, 80 carriers on the New Bedford side and 73 in Burlington.
Burlington sits about 268 miles northwest of New Bedford, which makes this an interstate relocation from Massachusetts to Vermont that most movers classify as a regional long-distance 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 $2,860 to $4,260 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 5 h 19 min.
On the New Bedford side there are 80 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (56 of them authorized for interstate work), and 73 around Burlington (39 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 Burlington.
New Bedford has a population of about 101,834 and Burlington about 45,000. The two cities have comparable density (5,054 and 4,343 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Labor and living costs run lower in Vermont than in Massachusetts, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

About 268 road miles (227 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 5 h 19 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 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 Massachusetts into Vermont 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 $430 to $600 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,260 to $1,850. 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 New Bedford–Burlington corridor.
