Moving out of Missouri
Our pickup coverage includes St. Louis, Kansas City, Springfield, and Columbia. Moving from another community? Give us the actual ZIP code so we can review pickup availability. Delivery is available nationwide, with arrangements confirmed for your destination.
Keep the state attached to the city name
Use the complete address for a Kansas City or Springfield pickup to avoid confusing similarly named destinations. Describe basement furniture and any separate storage address before discussing the appointment. A second pickup changes the work even when its postal address is close to the main home.
Tools for your Missouri move
Review estimate factors, measure your inventory, and prepare parking and building paperwork.
Your moving estimate, protection and payment
A move entirely within Missouri and a move to another state can have different estimate, licensing and protection requirements.
Interstate moving: estimates, inventory changes and shipment protection.
Missouri: rules for a move entirely within Missouri
Authority includes municipal moves
Missouri requires MoDOT household-goods authority even within or between municipalities and commercial zones. Its application requires proof of insurance and safety/financial fitness. Verify the authority applicable to the actual in-state shipment.
Liability insurance versus cargo
MoDOT lists separate public-liability and cargo filings. Its household-goods cargo minimums are $2,500 per vehicle and $5,000 for loss at one time and place. These are carrier filing limits, not a promise of full compensation for every item.
Hourly or distance charges
MoDOT publishes hourly and distance tariff formats. Ask which applies to your move and how extra furniture, packing or storage affects the estimate. Keep the revised inventory and charges with the moving contract before agreeing to additional work.
