Reverse: Duluth → Davenport

Duluth sits about 435 miles north of Davenport, which makes this an interstate relocation from Iowa to Minnesota that most movers classify as a regional long-distance move.

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 $3,090 to $4,590 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 8 h 12 min.

On the Davenport side there are 98 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (78 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.

Davenport has a population of about 100,358 and Duluth about 86,000. Davenport is considerably denser (1,594 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. Minnesota is a higher-cost state than Iowa, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Davenport to Duluth?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,230 to $1,840 for a studio, $1,850 to $2,750 for a one-bedroom, $3,090 to $4,590 for a two-bedroom, $4,940 to $7,340 for a three-bedroom and $6,790 to $10,100 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Duluth from Davenport?

About 435 road miles (368 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 8 h 12 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Iowa 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.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Davenport to Duluth?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $600 to $840 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,410 to $2,070. 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.

When is the least expensive time to book this move?

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 Davenport–Duluth corridor.
