Rockville, MD → Waterbury, CT · Regional long-distance move
About 326 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,060–$4,550, delivery in 1–3 days, 526 carriers on the Rockville side and 170 in Waterbury.
Waterbury sits about 326 miles northeast of Rockville, which makes this an interstate relocation from Maryland 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 $3,060 to $4,550 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 6 h 19 min.
On the Rockville side there are 526 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (327 of them authorized for interstate work), and 170 around Waterbury (99 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 Waterbury.
Rockville has a population of about 68,000 and Waterbury about 115,771. The two cities have comparable density (4,947 and 4,014 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

About 326 road miles (276 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 6 h 19 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 Maryland 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 $480 to $680 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,310 to $1,930. 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 Rockville–Waterbury corridor.
