Manchester, NH → Springfield, MO · Long-distance move
About 1,437 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,760–$8,580, delivery in 3–7 days, 57 carriers on the Manchester side and 135 in Springfield.
Springfield sits about 1,437 miles west of Manchester, which makes this an interstate relocation from New Hampshire to Missouri 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 $5,760 to $8,580 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 25 hours (3 driving days).
On the Manchester side there are 57 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (44 of them authorized for interstate work), and 135 around Springfield (106 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 Springfield.
Manchester has a population of about 116,818 and Springfield about 169,847. Manchester is considerably denser (3,494 people per square mile versus 2,053), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Labor and living costs run lower in Missouri than in New Hampshire, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home. Note that Missouri does collect a state income tax, unlike New Hampshire, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 1,437 road miles (1,218 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 25 hours (3 driving days).
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.
Yes. Crossing from New Hampshire into Missouri 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.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $2,080 to $2,930 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,300 to $3,390. 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.
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 Manchester–Springfield corridor.
