Springfield, MO → Sioux Falls, SD · Long-distance move
About 560 road miles heading north. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,340–$4,960, delivery in 2–5 days, 135 carriers on the Springfield side and 79 in Sioux Falls.
Moving from Springfield to Sioux Falls is a long-distance move of roughly 560 road miles, heading north from Missouri to South Dakota.
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 $3,340 to $4,960 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 10 h 21 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 79 around Sioux Falls (59 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 Sioux Falls.
Springfield has a population of about 169,847 and Sioux Falls about 213,748. The two cities have comparable density (2,053 and 2,434 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends. South Dakota levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

About 560 road miles (474 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 10 h 21 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 South Dakota 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 $880 to $1,240 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,520 to $2,240. 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–Sioux Falls corridor.
