Grand Rapids, MI → Lee's Summit, MO · Long-distance move
About 630 road miles heading southwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,540–$5,260, delivery in 2–5 days, 322 carriers on the Grand Rapids side and 213 in Lee's Summit.
Moving from Grand Rapids to Lee's Summit is a long-distance move of roughly 630 road miles, heading southwest from Michigan 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 $3,540 to $5,260 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 11 h 34 min.
On the Grand Rapids side there are 322 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (185 of them authorized for interstate work), and 213 around Lee's Summit (168 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 Lee's Summit.
Grand Rapids has a population of about 201,183 and Lee's Summit about 107,514. Grand Rapids is considerably denser (4,440 people per square mile versus 1,582), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

About 630 road miles (534 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 11 h 34 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 Michigan 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.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $950 to $1,340 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,580 to $2,330. 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 Grand Rapids–Lee's Summit corridor.
