Missoula, MT → Rochester, MN · Long-distance move
About 1,250 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,320–$7,920, delivery in 3–7 days, 35 carriers on the Missoula side and 116 in Rochester.
Moving from Missoula to Rochester is a long-distance move of roughly 1,250 road miles, heading east from Montana 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 $5,320 to $7,920 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 15 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 116 around Rochester (72 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 Rochester.
Missoula has a population of about 76,000 and Rochester about 124,292. The two cities have comparable density (2,111 and 2,187 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

About 1,250 road miles (1,060 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 22 h 15 min.
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.
Yes. Crossing from Montana 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.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,730 to $2,450 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,140 to $3,140. 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–Rochester corridor.
