Rochester, MN → Provo, UT · Long-distance move
About 1,196 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,240–$7,790, delivery in 3–7 days, 116 carriers on the Rochester side and 113 in Provo.
Provo sits about 1,196 miles west of Rochester, which makes this an interstate relocation from Minnesota to Utah 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 $5,240 to $7,790 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 21 h 19 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 113 around Provo (65 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 Provo.
Rochester has a population of about 124,292 and Provo about 114,527. The two cities have comparable density (2,187 and 2,762 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

About 1,196 road miles (1,013 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 21 h 19 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 Utah 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 $1,680 to $2,370 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,090 to $3,070. 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–Provo corridor.
