Portland, ME → West Jordan, UT · Cross-country move
About 2,514 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $7,610–$11,330, delivery in 7–14 days, 113 carriers on the Portland side and 401 in West Jordan.
West Jordan sits about 2,514 miles west of Portland, which makes this an interstate relocation from Maine to Utah that most movers classify as a cross-country 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 $7,610 to $11,330 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 7 to 14 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 44 hours (5 driving days).
On the Portland side there are 113 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (63 of them authorized for interstate work), and 401 around West Jordan (229 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 West Jordan.
Portland has a population of about 69,000 and West Jordan about 116,812. The two cities have comparable density (3,176 and 3,621 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

About 2,514 road miles (2,131 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 44 hours (5 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 7 to 14 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 Maine into Utah 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 $3,480 to $4,920 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,260 to $4,800. 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 Portland–West Jordan corridor.
