About 1,004 road miles heading north. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,660–$6,930, delivery in 3–7 days, 976 carriers on the Carrollton side and 1,099 in St. Paul.
Moving from Carrollton to St. Paul is a long-distance move of roughly 1,004 road miles, heading north from Texas 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 $4,660 to $6,930 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 18 h 1 min.
On the Carrollton side there are 976 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (399 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1,099 around St. Paul (499 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 St. Paul.
Carrollton has a population of about 134,562 and St. Paul about 306,684. St. Paul is the denser city (5,991 people per square mile versus 3,636 in Carrollton), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Note that Minnesota does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 1,004 road miles (851 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 18 h 1 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 Texas 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 $1,480 to $2,090 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,920 to $2,820. 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 Carrollton–St. Paul corridor.
