Portsmouth, NH → Blacksburg, VA · Long-distance move
About 765 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,300–$6,400, delivery in 2–5 days, 51 carriers on the Portsmouth side and 80 in Blacksburg.
Blacksburg sits about 765 miles southwest of Portsmouth, which makes this an interstate relocation from New Hampshire 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 $4,300 to $6,400 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 13 h 53 min.
On the Portsmouth side there are 51 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (38 of them authorized for interstate work), and 80 around Blacksburg (61 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 Blacksburg.
Portsmouth has a population of about 23,000 and Blacksburg about 45,000. Blacksburg is the denser city (2,264 people per square mile versus 1,402 in Portsmouth), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Note that Virginia does collect a state income tax, unlike New Hampshire, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 765 road miles (649 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 13 h 53 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 New Hampshire 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 $1,090 to $1,530 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,700 to $2,500. 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 Portsmouth–Blacksburg corridor.
