Augusta, GA → Minot, ND · Cross-country move
About 1,686 road miles heading northwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,030–$8,980, delivery in 5–10 days, 200 carriers on the Augusta side and 20 in Minot.
The route from Augusta, GA to Minot, ND covers roughly 1,686 miles by road, a northwest-bound trip that falls into the cross-country move category for pricing purposes.
At this distance carriers price by shipment weight and mileage rather than by the hour. A two-bedroom home (around 5,000 lb of goods) typically costs $6,030 to $8,980 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 5 to 10 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 29 hours (4 driving days).
On the Augusta side there are 200 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (127 of them authorized for interstate work), and 20 around Minot (13 interstate). For an interstate move you can book from either end; movers near the origin handle loading and are usually the better first call, while a destination-side company can be useful if you need storage or delivery-day help in Minot.
Augusta has a population of about 201,999 and Minot about 48,000. Minot is the denser city (1,747 people per square mile versus 668 in Augusta), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

About 1,686 road miles (1,429 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 29 hours (4 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 5 to 10 days after pickup. Carriers give a spread rather than a fixed date because long-distance trucks carry several shipments; a dedicated truck or expedited service shortens the window for an extra fee.
Yes. Crossing from Georgia into North Dakota makes this an interstate move, so the carrier must hold active FMCSA operating authority (an MC number) in addition to its USDOT number. The company cards on this page flag which carriers are authorized for interstate work.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $2,330 to $3,290 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,520 to $3,710. Both save money versus a full-service crew but you do the loading, and container transit can take longer than a mover's delivery window.
Rates are highest in summer and around the last days of any month, when demand peaks. Mid-month, mid-week and winter dates are usually quoted below the standard rate. Booking four to eight weeks ahead gives you the widest choice of carriers on the Augusta–Minot corridor.
