Richmond, VA → Bridgeport, CT · Regional long-distance move
About 402 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,290–$4,890, delivery in 1–3 days, 400 carriers on the Richmond side and 447 in Bridgeport.
Bridgeport sits about 402 miles northeast of Richmond, which makes this an interstate relocation from Virginia to Connecticut that most movers classify as a regional long-distance 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 $3,290 to $4,890 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 7 h 38 min.
On the Richmond side there are 400 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (215 of them authorized for interstate work), and 447 around Bridgeport (230 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 Bridgeport.
Richmond has a population of about 237,257 and Bridgeport about 152,273. Bridgeport is the denser city (9,233 people per square mile versus 3,783 in Richmond), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

About 402 road miles (341 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 7 h 38 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 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 Virginia 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 $560 to $790 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,380 to $2,030. 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 Richmond–Bridgeport corridor.
