Fort Worth, TX → Minot, ND · Long-distance move
About 1,283 road miles heading north. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,220–$7,760, delivery in 3–7 days, 2,811 carriers on the Fort Worth side and 20 in Minot.
The route from Fort Worth, TX to Minot, ND covers roughly 1,283 miles by road, a north-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 $5,220 to $7,760 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 22 h 49 min.
On the Fort Worth side there are 2,811 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (1,207 of them authorized for interstate work), and 20 around Minot (13 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 Minot.
Fort Worth has a population of about 1 million and Minot about 48,000. Fort Worth is considerably denser (2,646 people per square mile versus 1,747), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Note that North Dakota does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 1,283 road miles (1,087 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 22 h 49 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 North Dakota 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 $1,770 to $2,500 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,170 to $3,180. 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 Fort Worth–Minot corridor.
