Reverse: Irving → Independence

Irving sits about 536 miles south of Independence, which makes this an interstate relocation from Missouri to Texas that most movers classify as a long-distance move.

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 $3,330 to $4,960 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 9 h 57 min.

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 2,220 around Irving (881 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 Irving.

Independence has a population of about 121,675 and Irving about 257,076. Irving is the denser city (3,831 people per square mile versus 1,577 in Independence), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Texas levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

Tips for this move

Verify the carrier's USDOT and MC numbers on the FMCSA site before paying a deposit.
Ask how the delivery window is calculated and what the delay compensation is.
Declutter first: long-haul pricing is by weight, so every hundred pounds you sell or donate saves money.
Check whether a shuttle truck is needed in Irving if a 53-foot trailer cannot reach your street.

Frequently asked questions

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

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,330 to $1,980 for a studio, $2,000 to $2,980 for a one-bedroom, $3,330 to $4,960 for a two-bedroom, $5,330 to $7,930 for a three-bedroom and $7,330 to $10,910 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Irving from Independence?

About 536 road miles (454 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 9 h 57 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 Missouri into Texas 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 Irving?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $850 to $1,200 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,500 to $2,200. 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–Irving corridor.
