Port St. Lucie, FL → Grand Forks, ND · Cross-country move
About 1,989 road miles heading northwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,630–$9,870, delivery in 5–10 days, 271 carriers on the Port St. Lucie side and 40 in Grand Forks.
Moving from Port St. Lucie to Grand Forks is a cross-country move of roughly 1,989 road miles, heading northwest from Florida to North Dakota.
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 $6,630 to $9,870 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 35 hours (4 driving days).
On the Port St. Lucie side there are 271 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (104 of them authorized for interstate work), and 40 around Grand Forks (33 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 Grand Forks.
Port St. Lucie has a population of about 268,062 and Grand Forks about 59,000. The two cities have comparable density (1,719 and 2,037 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Note that North Dakota does collect a state income tax, unlike Florida, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 1,989 road miles (1,686 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 35 hours (4 driving days).
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.
Yes. Crossing from Florida 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 $2,790 to $3,940 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,800 to $4,110. 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 Port St. Lucie–Grand Forks corridor.
