Reverse: Surprise → Lee's Summit

The route from Lee's Summit, MO to Surprise, AZ covers roughly 1,259 miles by road, a west-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 $5,160 to $7,680 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 24 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 435 around Surprise (213 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 Surprise.

Lee's Summit has a population of about 107,514 and Surprise about 175,304. The two cities have comparable density (1,582 and 1,298 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Arizona 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 Surprise?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,060 to $3,070 for a studio, $3,100 to $4,610 for a one-bedroom, $5,160 to $7,680 for a two-bedroom, $8,260 to $12,280 for a three-bedroom and $11,350 to $16,890 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Surprise from Lee's Summit?

About 1,259 road miles (1,067 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 22 h 24 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 Arizona 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 Surprise?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,740 to $2,460 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,140 to $3,150. 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–Surprise corridor.
