Moving from Lee's Summit to Pierre is a long-distance move of roughly 573 road miles, heading northwest from Missouri to South Dakota.

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 $3,370 to $5,010 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 10 h 35 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 around Pierre (2 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 Pierre.

Lee's Summit has a population of about 107,514 and Pierre about 14,000. Lee's Summit is considerably denser (1,582 people per square mile versus 1,082), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. South Dakota levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

Frequently asked questions

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

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,350 to $2,000 for a studio, $2,020 to $3,010 for a one-bedroom, $3,370 to $5,010 for a two-bedroom, $5,390 to $8,020 for a three-bedroom and $7,410 to $11,020 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Pierre from Lee's Summit?

About 573 road miles (485 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 10 h 35 min.

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 South Dakota 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 Pierre?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $890 to $1,250 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,530 to $2,250. 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–Pierre corridor.
