St. Paul, MN → Syracuse, NY · Long-distance move
About 1,005 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,210–$7,760, delivery in 3–7 days, 1,099 carriers on the St. Paul side and 195 in Syracuse.
Moving from St. Paul to Syracuse is a long-distance move of roughly 1,005 road miles, heading east from Minnesota to New York.
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 $5,210 to $7,760 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 18 h 2 min.
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 195 around Syracuse (66 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 Syracuse.
St. Paul has a population of about 306,684 and Syracuse about 144,896. The two cities have comparable density (5,991 and 5,921 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. New York is a higher-cost state than Minnesota, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 1,005 road miles (852 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 18 h 2 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 New York 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 $1,480 to $2,090 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,920 to $2,820. 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–Syracuse corridor.
