Springfield, MO → Clarksville, TN · Regional long-distance move
About 391 road miles heading east. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,820–$4,200, delivery in 1–3 days, 135 carriers on the Springfield side and 82 in Clarksville.
Moving from Springfield to Clarksville is a regional long-distance move of roughly 391 road miles, heading east from Missouri 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 $2,820 to $4,200 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 7 h 27 min.
On the Springfield side there are 135 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (106 of them authorized for interstate work), and 82 around Clarksville (55 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 Clarksville.
Springfield has a population of about 169,847 and Clarksville about 188,829. The two cities have comparable density (2,053 and 1,677 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Tennessee levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 391 road miles (331 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 7 h 27 min.
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.
Yes. Crossing from Missouri 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 $550 to $780 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,370 to $2,010. 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 Springfield–Clarksville corridor.
