Cape Girardeau, MO → Annapolis, MD · Long-distance move
About 847 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,330–$6,440, delivery in 2–5 days, 58 carriers on the Cape Girardeau side and 199 in Annapolis.
Moving from Cape Girardeau to Annapolis is a long-distance move of roughly 847 road miles, heading east from Missouri to Maryland.
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 $4,330 to $6,440 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 15 h 18 min.
On the Cape Girardeau side there are 58 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (45 of them authorized for interstate work), and 199 around Annapolis (100 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 Annapolis.
Cape Girardeau has a population of about 40,000 and Annapolis about 41,000. Annapolis is the denser city (5,664 people per square mile versus 1,351 in Cape Girardeau), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Maryland is a higher-cost state than Missouri, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 847 road miles (718 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 15 h 18 min.
Expect a delivery window of 2 to 5 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 Missouri into Maryland 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 $1,170 to $1,650 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,780 to $2,610. 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 Cape Girardeau–Annapolis corridor.
