Portsmouth, NH → Dodge City, KS · Cross-country move
About 1,856 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,460–$9,610, delivery in 5–10 days, 51 carriers on the Portsmouth side and 10 in Dodge City.
Dodge City sits about 1,856 miles west of Portsmouth, which makes this an interstate relocation from New Hampshire to Kansas 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 $6,460 to $9,610 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 5 to 10 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 32 hours (4 driving days).
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 10 around Dodge City (7 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 Dodge City.
Portsmouth has a population of about 23,000 and Dodge City about 28,000. Dodge City is the denser city (1,885 people per square mile versus 1,402 in Portsmouth), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Labor and living costs run lower in Kansas than in New Hampshire, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home. Note that Kansas does collect a state income tax, unlike New Hampshire, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 1,856 road miles (1,573 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 32 hours (4 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 5 to 10 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 Kansas 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 $2,660 to $3,750 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,680 to $3,940. 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–Dodge City corridor.
