Akron, OH → Dodge City, KS · Long-distance move
About 1,194 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,800–$7,140, delivery in 3–7 days, 349 carriers on the Akron side and 10 in Dodge City.
Moving from Akron to Dodge City is a long-distance move of roughly 1,194 road miles, heading west from Ohio to Kansas.
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 $4,800 to $7,140 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 17 min.
On the Akron side there are 349 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (215 of them authorized for interstate work), and 10 around Dodge City (7 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 Dodge City.
Akron has a population of about 189,691 and Dodge City about 28,000. Akron is considerably denser (3,077 people per square mile versus 1,885), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

About 1,194 road miles (1,011 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 21 h 17 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 Ohio into Kansas 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 $1,680 to $2,370 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,090 to $3,070. 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 Akron–Dodge City corridor.
