Reverse: Lee's Summit → Springfield

The route from Springfield, IL to Lee's Summit, MO covers roughly 307 miles by road, a west-bound trip that falls into the regional 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 $2,670 to $3,980 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 3 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 6 h.

On the Springfield side there are 58 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (45 of them authorized for interstate work), and 213 around Lee's Summit (168 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 Lee's Summit.

Springfield has a population of about 112,989 and Lee's Summit about 107,514. The two cities have comparable density (1,872 and 1,582 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Labor and living costs run lower in Missouri than in Illinois, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Springfield to Lee's Summit?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $1,220 to $1,820 for a studio, $1,600 to $2,390 for a one-bedroom, $2,670 to $3,980 for a two-bedroom, $4,280 to $6,360 for a three-bedroom and $5,880 to $8,750 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Lee's Summit from Springfield?

About 307 road miles (260 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 6 h.

How long will the movers take to deliver?

Expect a delivery window of 1 to 3 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 Illinois 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 Springfield to Lee's Summit?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $470 to $660 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,290 to $1,900. 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 Springfield–Lee's Summit corridor.
