The largest published out-of-state destination reached from Baltimore in that data is New York County, NY, 192 road miles away.

Where do people moving out of Baltimore actually go, and how far is it?
Destinations are the largest out-of-state county destinations published in the IRS county outflow file for filing years 2022 to 2023, ordered by the number of households in that file. Households are tax returns, never people. Road distance and drive time are measured between the two centres by road, not in a straight line. The delivery window is the shared distance banding this site applies to every published lane and is not a delivery promise from any carrier.

| District of Columbia, DC | 441 | 39 | 1 hours | 2 to 5 days |

These are the Baltimore entries published on the parent city page whose federal record carries granted household goods authority and a carrier operation classification of interstate.

Who regulates a long-distance move out of Baltimore?
A move from Baltimore across a state line is regulated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, which sets the written estimate requirements, the valuation choices and the complaint route. Maryland Department of Labor, Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing, Household Goods Movers Registration Unit regulates moves that stay inside Maryland and does not govern the interstate leg.
How do you verify a Baltimore long-distance carrier before signing?
Baltimore has 46 registrants at a local address with granted household goods authority; 9 file an interstate carrier-operation classification and 37 do not. That gap is why a reader should match the estimate to an exact USDOT record rather than treat every locally filed household goods registrant as an interstate carrier.
Maryland Department of Labor, Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing, Household Goods Movers Registration Unit requires a Household Goods Mover Registration for moves that stay inside Maryland. A move crossing the state line is checked separately through the carrier's federal USDOT record and granted household goods authority.
- Ask which USDOT number will appear on the bill of lading for the move out of Baltimore, then match that number to the legal or trade name on the written estimate.
- Confirm that exact record shows granted household goods authority. 9 of 46 locally filed authorised registrants carry an interstate operation classification.
- Check the current authority status close to pickup. A census registration, a local listing or a state filing does not keep federal household goods authority active.
- For the pickup-side state check, follow the Maryland rule above; it is separate from the federal authority required for the interstate leg.
