Newton, MA → Burlington, VT · Regional long-distance move
About 213 road miles heading northwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,640–$3,930, delivery in 1–2 days, 456 carriers on the Newton side and 73 in Burlington.
Burlington sits about 213 miles northwest of Newton, 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 $2,640 to $3,930 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 4 h 22 min.
On the Newton side there are 456 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (267 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.
Newton has a population of about 89,000 and Burlington about 45,000. The two cities have comparable density (4,988 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 213 road miles (181 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 4 h 22 min.
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.
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 $370 to $520 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,210 to $1,780. 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 Newton–Burlington corridor.
