Bemidji, MN → Youngstown, OH · Long-distance move
About 978 road miles heading southeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,520–$6,730, delivery in 2–5 days, 27 carriers on the Bemidji side and 141 in Youngstown.
Moving from Bemidji to Youngstown is a long-distance move of roughly 978 road miles, heading southeast from Minnesota to Ohio.
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 $4,520 to $6,730 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 17 h 34 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 141 around Youngstown (90 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 Youngstown.
Bemidji has a population of about 15,000 and Youngstown about 59,000. Youngstown is the denser city (1,770 people per square mile versus 914 in Bemidji), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Labor and living costs run lower in Ohio than in Minnesota, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

About 978 road miles (829 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 17 h 34 min.
Expect a delivery window of 2 to 5 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 Ohio 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 $1,450 to $2,050 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,890 to $2,780. 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–Youngstown corridor.
