Portsmouth, NH → Green Bay, WI · Long-distance move
About 1,018 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,780–$7,120, delivery in 3–7 days, 51 carriers on the Portsmouth side and 111 in Green Bay.
Moving from Portsmouth to Green Bay is a long-distance move of roughly 1,018 road miles, heading west from New Hampshire to Wisconsin.
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 $4,780 to $7,120 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 18 h 15 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 111 around Green Bay (52 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 Green Bay.
Portsmouth has a population of about 23,000 and Green Bay about 106,675. Green Bay is the denser city (2,360 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 Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin does collect a state income tax, unlike New Hampshire, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 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 Wisconsin 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 $1,500 to $2,110 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,930 to $2,840. 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–Green Bay corridor.
