Missoula, MT → Minot, ND · Long-distance move
About 709 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,860–$5,750, delivery in 2–5 days, 35 carriers on the Missoula side and 20 in Minot.
The route from Missoula, MT to Minot, ND covers roughly 709 miles by road, a east-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 $3,860 to $5,750 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 12 h 55 min.
On the Missoula side there are 35 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (24 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.
Missoula has a population of about 76,000 and Minot about 48,000. The two cities have comparable density (2,111 and 1,747 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

About 709 road miles (601 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 12 h 55 min.
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.
Yes. Crossing from Montana 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 $1,030 to $1,450 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,650 to $2,430. 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 Missoula–Minot corridor.
