The route from Salt Lake City, UT to Hampton, VA covers roughly 2,265 miles by road, a east-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 $7,320 to $10,890 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 39 hours (5 driving days).
On the Salt Lake City side there are 531 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (306 of them authorized for interstate work), and 157 around Hampton (88 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 Hampton.
Salt Lake City has a population of about 218,428 and Hampton about 137,315. Hampton is the denser city (2,663 people per square mile versus 1,811 in Salt Lake City), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

About 2,265 road miles (1,920 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 39 hours (5 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 Utah into Virginia 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 $3,230 to $4,560 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $3,040 to $4,470. 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 Salt Lake City–Hampton corridor.
