Las Cruces, NM → Independence, MO · Long-distance move
About 989 road miles heading northeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,320–$6,430, delivery in 2–5 days, 27 carriers on the Las Cruces side and 214 in Independence.
Independence sits about 989 miles northeast of Las Cruces, which makes this an interstate relocation from New Mexico to Missouri 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 $4,320 to $6,430 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 17 h 45 min.
On the Las Cruces side there are 27 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (21 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.
Las Cruces has a population of about 116,978 and Independence about 121,675. The two cities have comparable density (1,448 and 1,577 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

About 989 road miles (838 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 17 h 45 min.
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.
Yes. Crossing from New Mexico into Missouri 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.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,470 to $2,070 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,900 to $2,800. 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.
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 Las Cruces–Independence corridor.
