Reverse: Ann Arbor → Lee's Summit

Ann Arbor sits about 713 miles northeast of Lee's Summit, which makes this an interstate relocation from Missouri to Michigan 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 $3,730 to $5,560 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.

On the Lee's Summit side there are 213 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (168 of them authorized for interstate work), and 229 around Ann Arbor (112 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 Ann Arbor.

Lee's Summit has a population of about 107,514 and Ann Arbor about 122,233. Ann Arbor is the denser city (4,392 people per square mile versus 1,582 in Lee's Summit), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.

Tips for this move

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 Ann Arbor if a 53-foot trailer cannot reach your street.
Keep vehicle titles, passports and prescriptions with you; movers cannot carry some items at all.
Insist on a binding or binding-not-to-exceed estimate after an in-home or video survey.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Lee's Summit to Ann Arbor?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,490 to $2,220 for a studio, $2,240 to $3,330 for a one-bedroom, $3,730 to $5,560 for a two-bedroom, $5,980 to $8,890 for a three-bedroom and $8,220 to $12,220 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Ann Arbor from Lee's Summit?

About 713 road miles (605 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 13 h.

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 Michigan 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 Lee's Summit to Ann Arbor?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,030 to $1,460 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,660 to $2,440. 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 Lee's Summit–Ann Arbor corridor.
