Overland Park, KS → Chattanooga, TN · Long-distance move
About 689 road miles heading southeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,620–$5,390, delivery in 2–5 days, 400 carriers on the Overland Park side and 241 in Chattanooga.
Moving from Overland Park to Chattanooga is a long-distance move of roughly 689 road miles, heading southeast from Kansas to Tennessee.
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 $3,620 to $5,390 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 12 h 35 min.
On the Overland Park side there are 400 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (322 of them authorized for interstate work), and 241 around Chattanooga (155 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 Chattanooga.
Overland Park has a population of about 203,677 and Chattanooga about 194,144. Overland Park is considerably denser (2,623 people per square mile versus 1,272), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Tennessee levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 689 road miles (584 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 12 h 35 min.
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.
Yes. Crossing from Kansas into Tennessee 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 $1,010 to $1,420 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,630 to $2,400. 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 Overland Park–Chattanooga corridor.
