St. Paul, MN → Yuma, AZ · Cross-country move
About 1,689 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,320–$9,400, delivery in 5–10 days, 1,099 carriers on the St. Paul side and 66 in Yuma.
Moving from St. Paul to Yuma is a cross-country move of roughly 1,689 road miles, heading southwest from Minnesota to Arizona.
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 $6,320 to $9,400 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 29 hours (4 driving days).
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 66 around Yuma (57 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 Yuma.
St. Paul has a population of about 306,684 and Yuma about 105,227. St. Paul is considerably denser (5,991 people per square mile versus 792), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

About 1,689 road miles (1,431 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 29 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 Minnesota into Arizona 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 $2,340 to $3,300 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,530 to $3,720. 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–Yuma corridor.
