Quincy, MA → Portland, OR · Cross-country move
About 2,993 road miles heading northwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $9,370–$13,940, delivery in 7–14 days, 456 carriers on the Quincy side and 645 in Portland.
The route from Quincy, MA to Portland, OR covers roughly 2,993 miles by road, a northwest-bound trip that falls into the cross-country move category for pricing purposes.
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 $9,370 to $13,940 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 7 to 14 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 52 hours (6 driving days).
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 645 around Portland (474 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 Portland.
Quincy has a population of about 103,173 and Portland about 635,109. The two cities have comparable density (6,123 and 4,888 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Labor and living costs run lower in Oregon than in Massachusetts, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

About 2,993 road miles (2,536 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 52 hours (6 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 7 to 14 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 Oregon 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 $4,130 to $5,820 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,690 to $5,430. 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–Portland corridor.
