Moving from Sioux Falls to Meridian is a long-distance move of roughly 1,159 road miles, heading west from South Dakota to Idaho.
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 $4,890 to $7,280 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 41 min.
On the Sioux Falls side there are 79 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (59 of them authorized for interstate work), and 176 around Meridian (130 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 Meridian.
Sioux Falls has a population of about 213,748 and Meridian about 142,988. Meridian is the denser city (3,351 people per square mile versus 2,434 in Sioux Falls), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Note that Idaho does collect a state income tax, unlike South Dakota, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.
