The route from Springfield, MA to Lowell, MA covers roughly 85 miles by road, a northeast-bound trip that falls into the short-haul move category for pricing purposes.

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 10 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,700 and $2,530, before packing or storage.

On the Springfield side there are 213 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (155 of them authorized for interstate work), and 215 around Lowell (152 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 Lowell.

Springfield has a population of about 154,702 and Lowell about 119,971. Lowell is the denser city (8,497 people per square mile versus 4,888 in Springfield), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

Tips for this move

A single-day move is realistic here; schedule loading in the morning so the crew arrives in Lowell with daylight to spare.
Check Massachusetts intrastate mover rules; many states require a state permit in addition to a USDOT number.
Group fragile items and tell the crew which boxes go in the cab or on top.
For a move under about 150 miles you can often choose between an hourly and a flat rate—ask for both.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Springfield to Lowell?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $970 to $1,440 for a studio, $1,100 to $1,630 for a one-bedroom, $1,700 to $2,530 for a two-bedroom, $2,550 to $3,790 for a three-bedroom and $3,700 to $5,510 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Lowell from Springfield?

About 85 road miles (72 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 2 h 10 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

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.

Do I need an interstate-licensed mover for an in-state move?

No. Because both Springfield and Lowell 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.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Springfield to Lowell?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $240 to $330 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,100 to $1,610. 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.

When is the least expensive time to book this move?

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 Springfield–Lowell corridor.
