Portsmouth, NH → Pembroke Pines, FL · Cross-country move
About 1,528 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,200–$9,230, delivery in 5–10 days, 51 carriers on the Portsmouth side and 2,479 in Pembroke Pines.
Pembroke Pines sits about 1,528 miles southwest of Portsmouth, which makes this an interstate relocation from New Hampshire to Florida 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 $6,200 to $9,230 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 27 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 2,479 around Pembroke Pines (829 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 Pembroke Pines.
Portsmouth has a population of about 23,000 and Pembroke Pines about 176,714. Pembroke Pines is the denser city (5,235 people per square mile versus 1,402 in Portsmouth), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

About 1,528 road miles (1,295 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 27 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 Florida 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 $2,170 to $3,060 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,380 to $3,510. 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–Pembroke Pines corridor.
