Suffolk, VA → St. Paul, MN · Long-distance move
About 1,215 road miles heading northwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,360–$7,980, delivery in 3–7 days, 101 carriers on the Suffolk side and 1,099 in St. Paul.
Moving from Suffolk to St. Paul is a long-distance move of roughly 1,215 road miles, heading northwest from Virginia to Minnesota.
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 $5,360 to $7,980 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 21 h 39 min.
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 1,099 around St. Paul (499 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 St. Paul.
Suffolk has a population of about 104,699 and St. Paul about 306,684. St. Paul is the denser city (5,991 people per square mile versus 236 in Suffolk), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

About 1,215 road miles (1,030 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 21 h 39 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 Virginia into Minnesota 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 $1,700 to $2,400 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,100 to $3,090. 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–St. Paul corridor.
