The route from Lancaster, PA to Independence, MO covers roughly 1,135 miles by road, a west-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 $4,810 to $7,150 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 20 h 16 min.
On the Lancaster side there are 260 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (171 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.
Lancaster has a population of about 58,000 and Independence about 121,675. Lancaster is considerably denser (8,031 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.
