Rochester, MN → Hyannis, MA · Long-distance move
About 1,332 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,070–$9,030, delivery in 3–7 days, 116 carriers on the Rochester side and 65 in Hyannis.
Hyannis sits about 1,332 miles east of Rochester, which makes this an interstate relocation from Minnesota to Massachusetts 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 $6,070 to $9,030 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 23 h 40 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 65 around Hyannis (29 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 Hyannis.
Rochester has a population of about 124,292 and Hyannis about 14,000. Rochester is considerably denser (2,187 people per square mile versus 240), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Massachusetts is a higher-cost state than Minnesota, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 1,332 road miles (1,129 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 23 h 40 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 Massachusetts 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 $1,820 to $2,570 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,210 to $3,250. 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–Hyannis corridor.
