Suffolk, VA → Minot, ND · Cross-country move
About 1,744 road miles heading northwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,340–$9,440, delivery in 5–10 days, 101 carriers on the Suffolk side and 20 in Minot.
The route from Suffolk, VA to Minot, ND covers roughly 1,744 miles by road, a northwest-bound trip that falls into the cross-country move category for pricing purposes.
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 $6,340 to $9,440 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 30 hours (4 driving days).
On the Suffolk side there are 101 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (62 of them authorized for interstate work), and 20 around Minot (13 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 Minot.
Suffolk has a population of about 104,699 and Minot about 48,000. Minot is the denser city (1,747 people per square mile versus 236 in Suffolk), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

About 1,744 road miles (1,478 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 30 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 Virginia into North Dakota 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 $2,390 to $3,380 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,580 to $3,790. 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 Suffolk–Minot corridor.
