Morgantown, WV → Minneapolis, MN · Long-distance move
About 912 road miles heading northwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,250–$6,320, delivery in 2–5 days, 67 carriers on the Morgantown side and 1,248 in Minneapolis.
Moving from Morgantown to Minneapolis is a long-distance move of roughly 912 road miles, heading northwest from West Virginia 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 $4,250 to $6,320 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 16 h 25 min.
On the Morgantown side there are 67 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (49 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.
Morgantown has a population of about 30,000 and Minneapolis about 430,324. Minneapolis is the denser city (7,962 people per square mile versus 2,981 in Morgantown), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Minnesota is a higher-cost state than West Virginia, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 912 road miles (773 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 16 h 25 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 West Virginia 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 $1,390 to $1,960 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,830 to $2,700. 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 Morgantown–Minneapolis corridor.
