Reverse: Independence → Colorado Springs

Moving from Colorado Springs to Independence is a long-distance move of roughly 660 road miles, heading east from Colorado to Missouri.

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 $3,820 to $5,680 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 12 h 5 min.

On the Colorado Springs side there are 247 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (70 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.

Colorado Springs has a population of about 494,743 and Independence about 121,675. Colorado Springs is considerably denser (2,451 people per square mile versus 1,577), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Labor and living costs run lower in Missouri than in Colorado, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Colorado Springs to Independence?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,530 to $2,270 for a studio, $2,290 to $3,410 for a one-bedroom, $3,820 to $5,680 for a two-bedroom, $6,110 to $9,090 for a three-bedroom and $8,400 to $12,490 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Independence from Colorado Springs?

About 660 road miles (559 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 12 h 5 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Colorado 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 Colorado Springs to Independence?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $980 to $1,380 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,610 to $2,370. 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 Colorado Springs–Independence corridor.
