Quincy, MA → Springfield, MA · Short-haul move
About 93 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,750–$2,600, delivery in 1–2 days, 456 carriers on the Quincy side and 213 in Springfield.
Springfield sits about 93 miles west of Quincy, so this is an in-state move that most movers classify as a short-haul move.
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 2 h 18 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,750 and $2,600, 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 213 around Springfield (155 interstate). For an in-state 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 Springfield.
Quincy has a population of about 103,173 and Springfield about 154,702. 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.

For a move this short, loading and delivery normally happen on the same day. Most crews finish a two-bedroom home in 5 to 8 hours plus the drive.
No. Because both Quincy and Springfield are in Massachusetts, this is an intrastate move regulated by the state rather than the FMCSA. Still, choosing a carrier with an active USDOT number is the easiest way to confirm the company is a registered motor carrier with insurance on file.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $250 to $350 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,100 to $1,620. 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–Springfield corridor.
