Murfreesboro, TN → St. Cloud, MN · Long-distance move
About 922 road miles heading northwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,380–$6,520, delivery in 2–5 days, 282 carriers on the Murfreesboro side and 243 in St. Cloud.
St. Cloud sits about 922 miles northwest of Murfreesboro, which makes this an interstate relocation from Tennessee to Minnesota that most movers classify as a long-distance 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 $4,380 to $6,520 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 36 min.
On the Murfreesboro side there are 282 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (182 of them authorized for interstate work), and 243 around St. Cloud (91 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 St. Cloud.
Murfreesboro has a population of about 171,178 and St. Cloud about 69,000. Murfreesboro is considerably denser (2,429 people per square mile versus 1,713), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Minnesota is a higher-cost state than Tennessee, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. Note that Minnesota does collect a state income tax, unlike Tennessee, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 922 road miles (781 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 16 h 36 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 Tennessee 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 $1,400 to $1,970 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,840 to $2,710. 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 Murfreesboro–St. Cloud corridor.
