White Plains, NY → Lowell, MA · Regional long-distance move
About 198 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,770–$4,130, delivery in 1–2 days, 369 carriers on the White Plains side and 215 in Lowell.
Lowell sits about 198 miles northeast of White Plains, 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 $2,770 to $4,130 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 7 min.
On the White Plains side there are 369 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (163 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.
White Plains has a population of about 60,000 and Lowell about 119,971. Lowell is the denser city (8,497 people per square mile versus 6,117 in White Plains), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

About 198 road miles (168 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 4 h 7 min.
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.
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.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $350 to $500 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,200 to $1,760. 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 White Plains–Lowell corridor.
