The route from Augusta, ME to Independence, MO covers roughly 1,552 miles by road, a west-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 $5,830 to $8,670 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 27 hours (4 driving days).

On the Augusta side there are 129 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (50 of them authorized for interstate work), and 214 around Independence (159 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 Independence.

Augusta has a population of about 19,000 and Independence about 121,675. Independence is the denser city (1,577 people per square mile versus 343 in Augusta), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Labor and living costs run lower in Missouri than in Maine, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

Tips for this move

Ship the car separately if you plan to fly; auto transport is priced by the mile like household goods.
Confirm which items the mover will not carry (plants, perishables, propane, some batteries).
Expect a delivery spread of one to two weeks; plan temporary housing in Independence accordingly.
Compare a full-service van line against a container service; for a small household the container often wins.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Augusta to Independence?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,330 to $3,470 for a studio, $3,500 to $5,200 for a one-bedroom, $5,830 to $8,670 for a two-bedroom, $9,320 to $13,870 for a three-bedroom and $12,820 to $19,070 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Independence from Augusta?

About 1,552 road miles (1,315 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 27 hours (4 driving days).

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 5 to 10 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 Maine into Missouri 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 Augusta to Independence?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $2,190 to $3,100 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,410 to $3,540. 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 Augusta–Independence corridor.
