Winston-Salem, NC → Jefferson City, MO · Long-distance move
About 797 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $3,930–$5,850, delivery in 2–5 days, 254 carriers on the Winston-Salem side and 43 in Jefferson City.
Moving from Winston-Salem to Jefferson City is a long-distance move of roughly 797 road miles, heading west from North Carolina to Missouri.
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 $3,930 to $5,850 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 14 h 27 min.
On the Winston-Salem side there are 254 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (182 of them authorized for interstate work), and 43 around Jefferson City (29 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 Jefferson City.
Winston-Salem has a population of about 257,271 and Jefferson City about 43,000. Winston-Salem is considerably denser (1,881 people per square mile versus 1,199), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

About 797 road miles (676 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 14 h 27 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 North Carolina into Missouri 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 $1,120 to $1,580 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,730 to $2,550. 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 Winston-Salem–Jefferson City corridor.
