Rochester, MN → Greenwich, CT · Long-distance move
About 1,156 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,390–$8,010, delivery in 3–7 days, 116 carriers on the Rochester side and 347 in Greenwich.
Moving from Rochester to Greenwich is a long-distance move of roughly 1,156 road miles, heading east from Minnesota to Connecticut.
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 $5,390 to $8,010 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 20 h 38 min.
On the Rochester side there are 116 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (72 of them authorized for interstate work), and 347 around Greenwich (159 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 Greenwich.
Rochester has a population of about 124,292 and Greenwich about 63,000. Greenwich is the denser city (13,118 people per square mile versus 2,187 in Rochester), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Connecticut is a higher-cost state than Minnesota, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 1,156 road miles (980 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 20 h 38 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 Minnesota into Connecticut 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 $1,640 to $2,310 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,050 to $3,020. 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 Rochester–Greenwich corridor.
