The route from Raleigh, NC to Cape Girardeau, MO covers roughly 725 miles by road, a west-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 $3,760 to $5,600 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 13 h 12 min.
On the Raleigh side there are 739 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (399 of them authorized for interstate work), and 58 around Cape Girardeau (45 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 Cape Girardeau.
Raleigh has a population of about 506,306 and Cape Girardeau about 40,000. Raleigh is considerably denser (3,179 people per square mile versus 1,351), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.
