Reverse: Lowell → Utica

Lowell sits about 236 miles east of Utica, which makes this an interstate relocation from New York to Massachusetts 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 $2,940 to $4,370 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 2 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 4 h 46 min.

On the Utica side there are 107 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (42 of them authorized for interstate work), and 215 around Lowell (152 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 Lowell.

Utica has a population of about 65,000 and Lowell about 119,971. Lowell is the denser city (8,497 people per square mile versus 3,904 in Utica), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

Frequently asked questions

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

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,490 to $2,210 for a studio, $1,760 to $2,620 for a one-bedroom, $2,940 to $4,370 for a two-bedroom, $4,700 to $7,000 for a three-bedroom and $6,470 to $9,620 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Lowell from Utica?

About 236 road miles (200 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 4 h 46 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 1 to 2 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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from New York into Massachusetts 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.

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

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $390 to $550 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,230 to $1,810. 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 Utica–Lowell corridor.
