The route
A genuine long haul at 2,680 miles from Utah to Maine. Almost all of these move as consolidated freight: your goods share a trailer and the carrier quotes 7 to 14 days rather than a date. It is why a two-bedroom home here runs $12,060 – $16,080 instead of scaling straight with distance, and also why there is more handling and a looser schedule.

How these figures are calculated
At the Portland end

Rules that apply to this move
Because the truck crosses from Utah into Maine, 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 Saint George to Portland
Insist on a survey
Over 2,680 miles the price is driven almost entirely by weight. A quote given without a video or in-home survey is a guess that gets revised upward on loading day, and at this distance the revision is expensive.
Keep full-value protection
It is the default on an interstate move. Signing it away for released value means 60 cents per pound, about $18 for a 30 lb television, after 2,680 miles of handling.
Arriving in Portland
A local move inside Portland later — across town, out of temporary housing — is billed by the hour: about $495 – $817 for a two-bedroom home and $831 – $1,506 for three bedrooms. The nearest cities we cover from Portland are Manchester (about 88 mi), Nashua (about 101 mi), Boston (about 115 mi).
