St. George, UT → Madison, WI · Cross-country move
About 1,578 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,960–$8,860, delivery in 5–10 days, 70 carriers on the St. George side and 228 in Madison.
Moving from St. George to Madison is a cross-country move of roughly 1,578 road miles, heading northeast from Utah to Wisconsin.
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 $5,960 to $8,860 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 5 to 10 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 27 hours (4 driving days).
On the St. George side there are 70 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (45 of them authorized for interstate work), and 228 around Madison (120 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 Madison.
St. George has a population of about 108,713 and Madison about 286,233. Madison is the denser city (3,390 people per square mile versus 1,215 in St. George), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

About 1,578 road miles (1,337 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 27 hours (4 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 5 to 10 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 Utah into Wisconsin 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 $2,220 to $3,140 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,430 to $3,570. 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. George–Madison corridor.
