St. Cloud, MN → Lubbock, TX · Long-distance move
About 1,088 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,870–$7,240, delivery in 3–7 days, 243 carriers on the St. Cloud side and 110 in Lubbock.
Moving from St. Cloud to Lubbock is a long-distance move of roughly 1,088 road miles, heading southwest from Minnesota to Texas.
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 $4,870 to $7,240 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 19 h 28 min.
On the St. Cloud side there are 243 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (91 of them authorized for interstate work), and 110 around Lubbock (38 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 Lubbock.
St. Cloud has a population of about 69,000 and Lubbock about 273,071. The two cities have comparable density (1,713 and 1,910 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Texas levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 1,088 road miles (922 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 19 h 28 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 Texas 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 $1,570 to $2,210 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,990 to $2,930. 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 St. Cloud–Lubbock corridor.
