Moving from Laramie to Independence is a long-distance move of roughly 723 road miles, heading east from Wyoming 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 $3,780 to $5,620 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 13 h 10 min.
On the Laramie side there are 8 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (7 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.
Laramie has a population of about 32,000 and Independence about 121,675. The two cities have comparable density (1,707 and 1,577 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Note that Missouri does collect a state income tax, unlike Wyoming, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.
