Renton, WA → Springfield, MO · Cross-country move
About 1,918 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $6,820–$10,140, delivery in 5–10 days, 614 carriers on the Renton side and 135 in Springfield.
Springfield sits about 1,918 miles east of Renton, which makes this an interstate relocation from Washington to Missouri that most movers classify as a cross-country move.
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 $6,820 to $10,140 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 5 to 10 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 33 hours (4 driving days).
On the Renton side there are 614 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (288 of them authorized for interstate work), and 135 around Springfield (106 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 Springfield.
Renton has a population of about 104,975 and Springfield about 169,847. Renton is considerably denser (4,544 people per square mile versus 2,053), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Labor and living costs run lower in Missouri than in Washington, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home. Note that Missouri does collect a state income tax, unlike Washington, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 1,918 road miles (1,626 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 33 hours (4 driving days).
Expect a delivery window of 5 to 10 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 Washington 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.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $2,720 to $3,840 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,730 to $4,020. 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 Renton–Springfield corridor.
