Reverse: Davenport → Missoula

The route from Missoula, MT to Davenport, IA covers roughly 1,429 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 $5,490 to $8,160 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 Missoula side there are 35 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (24 of them authorized for interstate work), and 98 around Davenport (78 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 Davenport.

Missoula has a population of about 76,000 and Davenport about 100,358. Missoula is considerably denser (2,111 people per square mile versus 1,594), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Missoula to Davenport?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,200 to $3,270 for a studio, $3,290 to $4,900 for a one-bedroom, $5,490 to $8,160 for a two-bedroom, $8,780 to $13,060 for a three-bedroom and $12,070 to $17,960 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Davenport from Missoula?

About 1,429 road miles (1,211 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 25 hours (3 driving days).

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 Montana into Iowa 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 Missoula to Davenport?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $2,070 to $2,920 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,300 to $3,380. 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 Missoula–Davenport corridor.
