The route
A short interstate haul: 227 miles, about 4 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 $1,022 – $1,362. That means a tight delivery date and far less handling.

How many people move from Bangor to Nashua
The Census Bureau's American Community Survey (2016–2020) estimates that about 20 people a year (±32) moved from Penobscot County, ME, home to Bangor, to Hillsborough County, NH, home to Nashua. The margin of error is as large as the estimate, so read it as a handful of households rather than a count. Going the other way: about 122 people a year (±86). Movers from Penobscot County make up 0.1% of the 24,695 people a year who moved into Hillsborough County from another county or state.
At state level, the 2024 survey counts about 3,115 people a year (±965) moving from Maine to New Hampshire and about 4,373 people a year (±1,699) from New Hampshire to Maine — a net gain for Maine of about 1,258 people a year.

Before you book Bangor to Nashua
Ask whether it is hourly or flat
At 227 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.
