Reverse: Clarksville → Lee's Summit

Clarksville sits about 493 miles east of Lee's Summit, which makes this an interstate relocation from Missouri to Tennessee that most movers classify as a regional 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 $3,170 to $4,720 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 9 h 12 min.

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 82 around Clarksville (55 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 Clarksville.

Lee's Summit has a population of about 107,514 and Clarksville about 188,829. The two cities have comparable density (1,582 and 1,677 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Tennessee levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

Photograph high-value items before loading and keep the inventory sheet the crew gives you.

Frequently asked questions

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

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,270 to $1,890 for a studio, $1,900 to $2,830 for a one-bedroom, $3,170 to $4,720 for a two-bedroom, $5,080 to $7,550 for a three-bedroom and $6,980 to $10,380 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Clarksville from Lee's Summit?

About 493 road miles (417 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 9 h 12 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 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 Tennessee 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 Clarksville?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $810 to $1,140 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,460 to $2,150. 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–Clarksville corridor.
