Syracuse, NY → Frederick, MD · Regional long-distance move
About 304 road miles heading south. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,100–$4,620, delivery in 1–3 days, 195 carriers on the Syracuse side and 300 in Frederick.
Frederick sits about 304 miles south of Syracuse, which makes this an interstate relocation from New York to Maryland 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 $3,100 to $4,620 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 5 h 57 min.
On the Syracuse side there are 195 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (66 of them authorized for interstate work), and 300 around Frederick (201 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 Frederick.
Syracuse has a population of about 144,896 and Frederick about 85,000. Syracuse is considerably denser (5,921 people per square mile versus 3,262), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Labor and living costs run lower in Maryland than in New York, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

About 304 road miles (258 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 5 h 57 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 New York into Maryland 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 $460 to $650 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,290 to $1,900. 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 Syracuse–Frederick corridor.
