Fargo, ND → Cedar Rapids, IA · Regional long-distance move
About 499 road miles heading southeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,230–$4,800, delivery in 1–3 days, 99 carriers on the Fargo side and 96 in Cedar Rapids.
Cedar Rapids sits about 499 miles southeast of Fargo, which makes this an interstate relocation from North Dakota to Iowa 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 $3,230 to $4,800 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 9 h 18 min.
On the Fargo side there are 99 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (88 of them authorized for interstate work), and 96 around Cedar Rapids (57 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 Cedar Rapids.
Fargo has a population of about 136,275 and Cedar Rapids about 137,935. Fargo is considerably denser (2,530 people per square mile versus 1,910), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

About 499 road miles (423 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 9 h 18 min.
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.
Yes. Crossing from North Dakota into Iowa 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 $810 to $1,150 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,470 to $2,150. 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 Fargo–Cedar Rapids corridor.
