Reverse: Minneapolis → Fullerton

Moving from Fullerton to Minneapolis is a cross-country move of roughly 1,786 road miles, heading northeast from California 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 $7,200 to $10,710 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 5 to 10 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 31 hours (4 driving days).

On the Fullerton side there are 846 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (361 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.

Fullerton has a population of about 138,675 and Minneapolis about 430,324. The two cities have comparable density (6,411 and 7,962 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Labor and living costs run lower in Minnesota than in California, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Fullerton to Minneapolis?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,880 to $4,280 for a studio, $4,320 to $6,430 for a one-bedroom, $7,200 to $10,710 for a two-bedroom, $11,520 to $17,140 for a three-bedroom and $15,840 to $23,560 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Minneapolis from Fullerton?

About 1,786 road miles (1,514 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 31 hours (4 driving days).

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 5 to 10 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 California 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 Fullerton to Minneapolis?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $2,440 to $3,440 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,610 to $3,840. 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 Fullerton–Minneapolis corridor.
