Bemidji, MN → Trenton, NJ · Long-distance move
About 1,317 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,900–$8,770, delivery in 3–7 days, 27 carriers on the Bemidji side and 350 in Trenton.
Moving from Bemidji to Trenton is a long-distance move of roughly 1,317 road miles, heading east from Minnesota to New Jersey.
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 $5,900 to $8,770 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 23 h 24 min.
On the Bemidji side there are 27 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (12 of them authorized for interstate work), and 350 around Trenton (279 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 Trenton.
Bemidji has a population of about 15,000 and Trenton about 90,000. Trenton is the denser city (11,947 people per square mile versus 914 in Bemidji), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. New Jersey is a higher-cost state than Minnesota, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 1,317 road miles (1,117 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 23 h 24 min.
Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 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 Minnesota into New Jersey 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 $1,800 to $2,550 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,200 to $3,230. 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 Bemidji–Trenton corridor.
