Moving from Myrtle Beach to Independence is a long-distance move of roughly 1,104 road miles, heading northwest from South Carolina to Missouri.

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 $4,610 to $6,860 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 19 h 44 min.

On the Myrtle Beach side there are 148 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (97 of them authorized for interstate work), and 214 around Independence (159 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 Independence.

Myrtle Beach has a population of about 39,000 and Independence about 121,675. The two cities have comparable density (1,524 and 1,577 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Myrtle Beach to Independence?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,840 to $2,740 for a studio, $2,770 to $4,120 for a one-bedroom, $4,610 to $6,860 for a two-bedroom, $7,380 to $10,980 for a three-bedroom and $10,150 to $15,100 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Independence from Myrtle Beach?

About 1,104 road miles (935 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 19 h 44 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 South Carolina 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.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Myrtle Beach to Independence?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,580 to $2,240 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,010 to $2,950. 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 Myrtle Beach–Independence corridor.
