FAQs

What else should you know about moving out of state?

Any company helping with your out-of-state move from North Dakota must be licensed and have a registered USDOT number. All Bismarck movers featured here are fully compliant, but it’s always smart to double-check using the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s database.

You should also read through the FMCSA’s Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move to understand your protections.

Should I use a local company or a national company when moving from Bismarck?

For short moves within Bismarck, a local moving company will generally be the most cost-effective. But if you’re relocating out of North Dakota, a national mover such as Safeway Moving can offer the added benefit of interstate moving expertise.

When is the cheapest time of year to move away from Bismarck?

Movers in Bismarck typically see less business in November and December due to the holidays and school schedules. That makes it a great time to negotiate with a moving company and potentially cut down on your moving costs.

What are the cheapest ways to move out of Bismarck?

DIY options are generally the least expensive, especially for moves under 50 miles from Bismarck. Some of the most budget-friendly methods include renting a truck like U-Haul or choosing a moving container company like PODS.
