Springfield, MO → Hollywood, FL · Long-distance move
About 1,286 road miles heading southeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $5,230–$7,770, delivery in 3–7 days, 135 carriers on the Springfield side and 2,315 in Hollywood.
The route from Springfield, MO to Hollywood, FL covers roughly 1,286 miles by road, a southeast-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 $5,230 to $7,770 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 22 h 52 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 2,315 around Hollywood (807 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 Hollywood.
Springfield has a population of about 169,847 and Hollywood about 157,019. Hollywood is the denser city (5,607 people per square mile versus 2,053 in Springfield), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Florida is a higher-cost state than Missouri, so budget a little more for destination-side help, deposits and first-month expenses. Florida levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 1,286 road miles (1,089 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 22 h 52 min.
Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 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 Florida 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 $1,770 to $2,500 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,170 to $3,190. 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–Hollywood corridor.
