Winston-Salem, NC → Blacksburg, VA · Short-haul move
About 93 road miles heading north. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,470–$2,190, delivery in 1–2 days, 254 carriers on the Winston-Salem side and 80 in Blacksburg.
Blacksburg sits about 93 miles north of Winston-Salem, which makes this an interstate relocation from North Carolina to Virginia that most movers classify as a short-haul move.
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 18 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,470 and $2,190, before packing or storage.
On the Winston-Salem side there are 254 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (182 of them authorized for interstate work), and 80 around Blacksburg (61 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 Blacksburg.
Winston-Salem has a population of about 257,271 and Blacksburg about 45,000. The two cities have comparable density (1,881 and 2,264 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Virginia is a higher-cost state than North Carolina, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

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.
Yes. Crossing from North Carolina 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 $250 to $350 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,100 to $1,620. 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 Winston-Salem–Blacksburg corridor.
