Quincy, MA → New Haven, CT · Short-haul move
About 140 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,420–$3,600, delivery in 1–2 days, 456 carriers on the Quincy side and 242 in New Haven.
Moving from Quincy to New Haven is a short-haul move of roughly 140 road miles, heading southwest from Massachusetts to Connecticut.
Because the two cities are close together, most companies quote this move by the hour: a crew of two to four movers plus a truck, with the drive of about 3 h 7 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $2,420 and $3,600, before packing or storage.
On the Quincy side there are 456 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (277 of them authorized for interstate work), and 242 around New Haven (131 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 New Haven.
Quincy has a population of about 103,173 and New Haven about 138,774. The two cities have comparable density (6,123 and 7,167 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Labor and living costs run lower in Connecticut than in Massachusetts, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

About 140 road miles (119 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 3 h 7 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 2 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 Massachusetts into Connecticut 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 $290 to $410 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,140 to $1,680. 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 Quincy–New Haven corridor.
