Cedar Rapids, IA → St. George, UT · Long-distance move
About 1,429 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,540–$8,250, delivery in 3–7 days, 96 carriers on the Cedar Rapids side and 70 in St. George.
The route from Cedar Rapids, IA to St. George, UT covers roughly 1,429 miles by road, a west-bound trip that falls into the long-distance 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 $5,540 to $8,250 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 25 hours (3 driving days).
On the Cedar Rapids side there are 96 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (57 of them authorized for interstate work), and 70 around St. George (45 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. George.
Cedar Rapids has a population of about 137,935 and St. George about 108,713. Cedar Rapids is considerably denser (1,910 people per square mile versus 1,215), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Utah is a higher-cost state than Iowa, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 1,429 road miles (1,211 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 25 hours (3 driving days).
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 Iowa into Utah 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 $2,070 to $2,920 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,300 to $3,380. 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 Cedar Rapids–St. George corridor.
