Bridgeport, CT → Duluth, MN · Long-distance move
About 1,197 road miles heading northwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,490–$8,180, delivery in 3–7 days, 447 carriers on the Bridgeport side and 57 in Duluth.
Moving from Bridgeport to Duluth is a long-distance move of roughly 1,197 road miles, heading northwest from Connecticut to Minnesota.
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 $5,490 to $8,180 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 21 h 20 min.
On the Bridgeport side there are 447 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (230 of them authorized for interstate work), and 57 around Duluth (26 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 Duluth.
Bridgeport has a population of about 152,273 and Duluth about 86,000. Bridgeport is considerably denser (9,233 people per square mile versus 1,210), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Labor and living costs run lower in Minnesota than in Connecticut, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

About 1,197 road miles (1,014 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 21 h 20 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 Connecticut into Minnesota 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 $1,680 to $2,370 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,090 to $3,070. 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 Bridgeport–Duluth corridor.
