In short
Moving from Bridgeport, CT to Baltimore, MD covers about 260 miles and is an interstate move. Full-service movers cost $1,170 – $1,560 for a two-bedroom home in our model, delivered in 1 to 3 days. About 144 people a year move between the two counties (Census).
The route
A short interstate haul: 260 miles, about 5 hours of driving. Long enough to be priced on weight, short enough that most carriers run it on a dedicated truck rather than pooling your goods with other shipments — a two-bedroom home typically runs $1,170 – $1,560. That means a tight delivery date and far less handling.

How these figures are calculated
At the Baltimore end

Rules that apply to this move
Because the truck crosses from Connecticut into Maryland, 49 CFR Part 375 applies: a written estimate before loading, no more than 110% of a non-binding estimate collected at delivery, and full-value protection unless you choose released value in writing. See binding vs non-binding estimates and valuation explained.
Before you book Bridgeport to Baltimore
Ask whether it is hourly or flat
At 260 miles some carriers still quote hourly plus mileage rather than by weight. Get both numbers so you can compare like with like — hourly can win on a short haul with easy access at both ends.
Confirm it is a one-day run
Most carriers cover this distance in a single day, which avoids an overnight charge and a second crew. If a quote assumes two days, ask why.
Arriving in Baltimore
A local move inside Baltimore later — across town, out of temporary housing — is billed by the hour: about $485 – $803 for a two-bedroom home and $813 – $1,479 for three bedrooms.
