The route from Port St. Lucie, FL to St. Cloud, MN covers roughly 1,735 miles by road, a northwest-bound trip that falls into the cross-country 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 $6,390 to $9,510 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 30 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 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.
Port St. Lucie has a population of about 268,062 and St. Cloud about 69,000. The two cities have comparable density (1,719 and 1,713 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Note that Minnesota does collect a state income tax, unlike Florida, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 1,735 road miles (1,471 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 30 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 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 $2,380 to $3,360 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,570 to $3,780. 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–St. Cloud corridor.
