Moving to or from Maine
Boston is the main lane and is close enough for same-day delivery. Longer moves run down the I-95 corridor to New York and Florida.
Winter access is the issue. Coastal and rural driveways can be impassable for a large truck between December and March, and a shuttle is often the practical answer.
Whether the job stays inside Maine or crosses state lines, the same company handles it end to end. United Relocation is an FMCSA-authorized motor carrier — we are not passing your shipment to whichever crew happens to bid on it.

Moving in Maine: common questions
What does a move from Maine depend on?
Weight and distance first — Boston, MA is about 120 miles out, Buffalo, NY about 510, and that gap alone changes the job. Winter driveway access is the cost factor; a shuttle from a smaller truck is common. Our published starting rates give you a floor — $250 an hour on a local move, from $1,800 on a long haul — and the number that binds is a written estimate against your actual inventory, which is free.
Which cities in Maine do you serve?
Portland is the largest market in the state at roughly 66,000 people, and we also run crews in . Smaller towns are covered too, though rural addresses sometimes need a shuttle from a smaller truck.
How long does a move out of Maine take?
Inside Maine, normally loaded and delivered the same day. Interstate, distance sets it: Boston, MA at 120 miles lands in a day, Buffalo, NY at 510 miles takes longer. Summer is peak, and coastal deliveries between December and March often need a date buffer.
