Moving from Independence to Provo is a long-distance move of roughly 1,088 road miles, heading west from Missouri to Utah.

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 $4,740 to $7,060 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 19 h 28 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 113 around Provo (65 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 Provo.

Independence has a population of about 121,675 and Provo about 114,527. Provo is the denser city (2,762 people per square mile versus 1,577 in Independence), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Utah is a higher-cost state than Missouri, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

Tips for this move

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 Provo if a 53-foot trailer cannot reach your street.
Keep vehicle titles, passports and prescriptions with you; movers cannot carry some items at all.

Frequently asked questions

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

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,900 to $2,820 for a studio, $2,850 to $4,240 for a one-bedroom, $4,740 to $7,060 for a two-bedroom, $7,590 to $11,290 for a three-bedroom and $10,440 to $15,530 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Provo from Independence?

About 1,088 road miles (922 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 19 h 28 min.

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 Utah 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 Provo?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,570 to $2,210 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,990 to $2,930. 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–Provo corridor.
