The route from Tampa, FL to Minot, ND covers roughly 2,034 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 $6,710 to $9,980 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 35 hours (4 driving days).
On the Tampa side there are 1,059 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (368 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.
Tampa has a population of about 413,554 and Minot about 48,000. Tampa is considerably denser (3,377 people per square mile versus 1,747), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Note that North Dakota does collect a state income tax, unlike Florida, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.
