Interstate, out-of-state and cross-country moves from Minneapolis

Out of state. Loading in Minneapolis is priced at the city's 1.02 labor index; a 3-bedroom crew of 3–4 models at $185–$245 per hour, which feeds the origin share of every out-of-state quote.

Cross-country. The longest corridor here, Phoenix, AZ at 1,485 miles, runs $7,950–$10,600 for a 4-bedroom and 4 to 8 days in transit.

How to choose among long distance moving companies Minneapolis

  • Interstate movers must hold a USDOT number and MC operating authority; verify both in the FMCSA database.
  • Ask whether the estimate is binding or non-binding; only a binding estimate caps the price.
  • Insist on an in-home or video survey before any written estimate.
  • Ask if you are dealing with a broker or the carrier that will actually move you.
  • Compare valuation coverage: basic release value pays 60 cents per pound; full value protection costs extra.
