Springfield, MO → Jackson, MS · Regional long-distance move
About 448 road miles heading southeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,910–$4,330, delivery in 1–3 days, 135 carriers on the Springfield side and 173 in Jackson.
The route from Springfield, MO to Jackson, MS covers roughly 448 miles by road, a southeast-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 $2,910 to $4,330 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 8 h 25 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 173 around Jackson (113 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 Jackson.
Springfield has a population of about 169,847 and Jackson about 141,196. Springfield is considerably denser (2,053 people per square mile versus 1,376), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

About 448 road miles (380 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 8 h 25 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 Mississippi 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 $610 to $860 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,420 to $2,090. 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–Jackson corridor.
