Springfield, MO → Grand Junction, CO · Long-distance move
About 990 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,640–$6,910, delivery in 2–5 days, 135 carriers on the Springfield side and 67 in Grand Junction.
Moving from Springfield to Grand Junction is a long-distance move of roughly 990 road miles, heading west from Missouri to Colorado.
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 $4,640 to $6,910 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 17 h 46 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 67 around Grand Junction (30 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 Grand Junction.
Springfield has a population of about 169,847 and Grand Junction about 70,000. The two cities have comparable density (2,053 and 1,614 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. Colorado is a higher-cost state than Missouri, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses.

About 990 road miles (839 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 17 h 46 min.
Expect a delivery window of 2 to 5 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 Colorado 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 $1,470 to $2,070 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,900 to $2,800. 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–Grand Junction corridor.
