Springfield, MO → Lee's Summit, MO · Regional long-distance move
About 157 road miles heading northwest. Typical two-bedroom cost $2,020–$3,000, delivery in 1–2 days, 135 carriers on the Springfield side and 213 in Lee's Summit.
Lee's Summit sits about 157 miles northwest of Springfield, so this is an in-state move that most movers classify as a regional long-distance move.
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 $2,020 to $3,000 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 1 to 2 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 3 h 24 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 213 around Lee's Summit (168 interstate). For an in-state 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 Lee's Summit.
Springfield has a population of about 169,847 and Lee's Summit about 107,514. The two cities have comparable density (2,053 and 1,582 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

About 157 road miles (133 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 3 h 24 min.
Expect a delivery window of 1 to 2 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.
No. Because both Springfield and Lee's Summit are in Missouri, this is an intrastate move regulated by the state rather than the FMCSA. Still, choosing a carrier with an active USDOT number is the easiest way to confirm the company is a registered motor carrier with insurance on file.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $310 to $440 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,160 to $1,710. 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–Lee's Summit corridor.
