The route from Independence, MO to Davie, FL covers roughly 1,431 miles by road, a southeast-bound trip that falls into the long-distance 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 $5,580 to $8,300 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 25 hours (3 driving days).

On the Independence side there are 214 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (159 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1,589 around Davie (600 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 Davie.

Independence has a population of about 121,675 and Davie about 110,851. Davie is the denser city (3,028 people per square mile versus 1,577 in Independence), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Florida is a higher-cost state than Missouri, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. Florida levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

Frequently asked questions

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

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,230 to $3,320 for a studio, $3,350 to $4,980 for a one-bedroom, $5,580 to $8,300 for a two-bedroom, $8,920 to $13,280 for a three-bedroom and $12,270 to $18,260 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Davie from Independence?

About 1,431 road miles (1,213 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 25 hours (3 driving days).

How long will the movers take to deliver?

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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Missouri into Florida 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 Independence to Davie?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $2,070 to $2,920 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,300 to $3,380. 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 Independence–Davie corridor.
