Overland Park, KS → Missoula, MT · Long-distance move
About 1,321 road miles heading northwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,230–$7,780, delivery in 3–7 days, 400 carriers on the Overland Park side and 35 in Missoula.
Moving from Overland Park to Missoula is a long-distance move of roughly 1,321 road miles, heading northwest from Kansas to Montana.
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 $5,230 to $7,780 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 23 h 29 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 35 around Missoula (24 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 Missoula.
Overland Park has a population of about 203,677 and Missoula about 76,000. The two cities have comparable density (2,623 and 2,111 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

About 1,321 road miles (1,119 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 23 h 29 min.
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 Kansas into Montana 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 $1,810 to $2,550 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,200 to $3,230. 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–Missoula corridor.
