Springfield, MO → Las Cruces, NM · Long-distance move
About 986 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,310–$6,420, delivery in 2–5 days, 135 carriers on the Springfield side and 27 in Las Cruces.
Moving from Springfield to Las Cruces is a long-distance move of roughly 986 road miles, heading west from Missouri to New Mexico.
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 $4,310 to $6,420 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 42 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 27 around Las Cruces (21 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 Las Cruces.
Springfield has a population of about 169,847 and Las Cruces about 116,978. Springfield is considerably denser (2,053 people per square mile versus 1,448), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

About 986 road miles (836 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 17 h 42 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 New Mexico 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 $1,460 to $2,070 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,900 to $2,790. 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–Las Cruces corridor.
