The route
A genuine long haul at 1,353 miles from Utah to Wisconsin. Almost all of these move as consolidated freight: your goods share a trailer and the carrier quotes 7 to 14 days rather than a date. It is why a two-bedroom home here runs $6,089 – $8,118 instead of scaling straight with distance, and also why there is more handling and a looser schedule.

How these figures are calculated
At the Madison end
For a local crew after delivery, the largest licensed carriers within 30 miles of Madison: Reynolds Transfer & Storage Inc (Madison, 34 trucks), O'Mara Moving Systems Inc (Madison, 18 trucks), Mad City Moving (McFarland, 14 trucks), Yerges Van Liners Inc (Fort Atkinson, 12 trucks).
Rules that apply to this move
Because the truck crosses from Utah into Wisconsin, 49 CFR Part 375 applies: a written estimate before loading, no more than 110% of a non-binding estimate collected at delivery, and full-value protection unless you choose released value in writing. See binding vs non-binding estimates and valuation explained.
Before you book Ogden to Madison
Insist on a survey
Over 1,353 miles the price is driven almost entirely by weight. A quote given without a video or in-home survey is a guess that gets revised upward on loading day, and at this distance the revision is expensive.
Keep full-value protection
It is the default on an interstate move. Signing it away for released value means 60 cents per pound, about $18 for a 30 lb television, after 1,353 miles of handling.
Arriving in Madison
A local move inside Madison later — across town, out of temporary housing — is billed by the hour: about $515 – $845 for a two-bedroom home and $867 – $1,560 for three bedrooms. The nearest cities we cover from Madison are Milwaukee (about 87 mi), Green Bay (about 141 mi), Chicago (about 142 mi).
