Reverse: Burlington → Worcester

The route from Worcester, MA to Burlington, VT covers roughly 200 miles by road, a northwest-bound trip that falls into the regional long-distance move category for pricing purposes.

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 $2,590 to $3,850 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 9 min.

On the Worcester side there are 226 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (135 of them authorized for interstate work), and 73 around Burlington (39 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 Burlington.

Worcester has a population of about 213,862 and Burlington about 45,000. The two cities have comparable density (5,522 and 4,343 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Labor and living costs run lower in Vermont than in Massachusetts, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Worcester to Burlington?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,380 to $2,060 for a studio, $1,550 to $2,310 for a one-bedroom, $2,590 to $3,850 for a two-bedroom, $4,140 to $6,160 for a three-bedroom and $5,690 to $8,470 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Burlington from Worcester?

About 200 road miles (170 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 4 h 9 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 Massachusetts into Vermont 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 Worcester to Burlington?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $360 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.

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 Worcester–Burlington corridor.
