Reverse: Garland → Minot

The route from Minot, ND to Garland, TX covers roughly 1,282 miles by road, a south-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 48 min.

On the Minot side there are 20 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (13 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1,745 around Garland (758 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 Garland.

Minot has a population of about 48,000 and Garland about 249,625. Garland is the denser city (4,309 people per square mile versus 1,747 in Minot), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Texas levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Minot to Garland?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,090 to $3,100 for a studio, $3,130 to $4,660 for a one-bedroom, $5,220 to $7,760 for a two-bedroom, $8,350 to $12,420 for a three-bedroom and $11,470 to $17,070 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Garland from Minot?

About 1,282 road miles (1,086 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 22 h 48 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from North Dakota into Texas 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 Minot to Garland?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,770 to $2,500 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,160 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.

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 Minot–Garland corridor.
