Moving to or from Massachusetts
New York, Florida and the Carolinas are the main long-distance lanes. New Hampshire and Rhode Island absorb a steady suburban outflow.
September 1 is the single busiest moving day in Boston, when a large share of leases turn over at once. Book months ahead for that window, and expect street-permit requirements in Boston, Cambridge and Somerville.
Whether the job stays inside Massachusetts 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 Massachusetts: common questions
What does a move from Massachusetts depend on?
Weight and distance first — New York, NY is about 200 miles out, Washington, DC about 440, and that gap alone changes the job. Street permits in Boston, Cambridge and Somerville are a line item, not an afterthought. 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 Massachusetts do you serve?
Boston is the largest market in the state at roughly 646,000 people, and we also run crews in Worcester, Springfield, Lowell, Cambridge, New Bedford, Brockton. Smaller towns are covered too, though rural addresses sometimes need a shuttle from a smaller truck.
How long does a move out of Massachusetts take?
Inside Massachusetts, normally loaded and delivered the same day. Interstate, distance sets it: New York, NY at 200 miles lands in a day, Washington, DC at 440 miles takes longer. September 1 is the single busiest moving day in the state — book months ahead for it.
