Newton, MA → Newport News, VA · Long-distance move
About 543 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,930–$5,840, delivery in 2–5 days, 456 carriers on the Newton side and 168 in Newport News.
Newport News sits about 543 miles southwest of Newton, which makes this an interstate relocation from Massachusetts to Virginia that most movers classify as a 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 $3,930 to $5,840 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 4 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 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.
Newton has a population of about 89,000 and Newport News about 183,230. Newton is considerably denser (4,988 people per square mile versus 2,699), 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 Virginia than in Massachusetts, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

About 543 road miles (460 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 10 h 4 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 Massachusetts 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 $860 to $1,210 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,500 to $2,210. 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–Newport News corridor.
