The route from Paterson, NJ to Portsmouth, NH covers roughly 269 miles by road, a northeast-bound trip that falls into the regional long-distance move category for pricing purposes.
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 $2,840 to $4,230 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 20 min.
On the Paterson side there are 2,164 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (1,282 of them authorized for interstate work), and 51 around Portsmouth (38 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 Portsmouth.
Paterson has a population of about 161,793 and Portsmouth about 23,000. Paterson is considerably denser (19,016 people per square mile versus 1,402), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. New Hampshire levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.
