Reverse: Minneapolis → Walla Walla

The route from Walla Walla, WA to Minneapolis, MN covers roughly 1,429 miles by road, a east-bound trip that falls into the long-distance 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 $6,200 to $9,220 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 25 hours (3 driving days).

On the Walla Walla side there are 10 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (4 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1,248 around Minneapolis (529 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 Minneapolis.

Walla Walla has a population of about 34,000 and Minneapolis about 430,324. Minneapolis is the denser city (7,962 people per square mile versus 2,426 in Walla Walla), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Labor and living costs run lower in Minnesota than in Washington, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home. Note that Minnesota does collect a state income tax, unlike Washington, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Walla Walla to Minneapolis?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,480 to $3,690 for a studio, $3,720 to $5,530 for a one-bedroom, $6,200 to $9,220 for a two-bedroom, $9,920 to $14,760 for a three-bedroom and $13,640 to $20,290 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Minneapolis from Walla Walla?

About 1,429 road miles (1,211 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 25 hours (3 driving days).

How long will the movers take to deliver?

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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Washington 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.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Walla Walla to Minneapolis?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $2,070 to $2,920 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,300 to $3,380. 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.

When is the least expensive time to book this move?

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 Walla Walla–Minneapolis corridor.
