Moving from Frankfort to Minneapolis is a long-distance move of roughly 752 road miles, heading northwest from Kentucky 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 $3,910 to $5,810 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 13 h 40 min.

On the Frankfort side there are 50 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (22 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1,248 around Minneapolis (529 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 Minneapolis.

Frankfort has a population of about 29,000 and Minneapolis about 430,324. Minneapolis is the denser city (7,962 people per square mile versus 1,936 in Frankfort), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Minnesota is a higher-cost state than Kentucky, 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 Frankfort to Minneapolis?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,560 to $2,330 for a studio, $2,340 to $3,490 for a one-bedroom, $3,910 to $5,810 for a two-bedroom, $6,250 to $9,300 for a three-bedroom and $8,600 to $12,790 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Minneapolis from Frankfort?

About 752 road miles (638 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 13 h 40 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 2 to 5 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 Kentucky 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 Frankfort to Minneapolis?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,070 to $1,510 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,690 to $2,490. 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 Frankfort–Minneapolis corridor.
