St. Paul, MN → Eau Claire, WI · Short-haul move
About 94 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $1,460–$2,170, delivery in 1–2 days, 1,099 carriers on the St. Paul side and 123 in Eau Claire.
Eau Claire sits about 94 miles east of St. Paul, which makes this an interstate relocation from Minnesota to Wisconsin that most movers classify as a short-haul move.
Because the two cities are close together, most companies quote this move by the hour: a crew of two to four movers plus a truck, with the drive of about 2 h 19 min counted as billable travel time. A typical two-bedroom household lands between $1,460 and $2,170, before packing or storage.
On the St. Paul side there are 1,099 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (499 of them authorized for interstate work), and 123 around Eau Claire (83 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 Eau Claire.
St. Paul has a population of about 306,684 and Eau Claire about 71,000. St. Paul is considerably denser (5,991 people per square mile versus 2,022), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

About 94 road miles (79 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 2 h 19 min.
For a move this short, loading and delivery normally happen on the same day. Most crews finish a two-bedroom home in 5 to 8 hours plus the drive.
Yes. Crossing from Minnesota 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 $250 to $350 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,100 to $1,620. 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. Paul–Eau Claire corridor.
