Reverse: Laredo → Minot

Laredo sits about 1,690 miles south of Minot, which makes this an interstate relocation from North Dakota to Texas that most movers classify as a cross-country 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 $6,040 to $8,990 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 29 hours (4 driving days).

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 323 around Laredo (207 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 Laredo.

Minot has a population of about 48,000 and Laredo about 269,515. Laredo is the denser city (2,396 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 Laredo?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,420 to $3,590 for a studio, $3,620 to $5,390 for a one-bedroom, $6,040 to $8,990 for a two-bedroom, $9,660 to $14,380 for a three-bedroom and $13,290 to $19,770 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Laredo from Minot?

About 1,690 road miles (1,432 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 29 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 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 Laredo?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $2,340 to $3,300 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,530 to $3,720. 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–Laredo corridor.
