Reverse: Newark → Lee's Summit

The route from Lee's Summit, MO to Newark, NJ covers roughly 1,271 miles by road, a east-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 $5,530 to $8,230 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 22 h 37 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 2,782 around Newark (1,591 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 Newark.

Lee's Summit has a population of about 107,514 and Newark about 323,808. Newark is the denser city (12,927 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. New Jersey is a higher-cost state than Missouri, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

Frequently asked questions

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

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,210 to $3,290 for a studio, $3,320 to $4,940 for a one-bedroom, $5,530 to $8,230 for a two-bedroom, $8,850 to $13,170 for a three-bedroom and $12,170 to $18,110 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Newark from Lee's Summit?

About 1,271 road miles (1,077 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 22 h 37 min.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 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 New Jersey 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 Newark?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,760 to $2,480 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,150 to $3,170. 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–Newark corridor.
