Independence to Springfield via US-65

Springfield is the shortest run in our long-distance lineup — 165 miles south on US-65, dropping into the foothills of the Missouri Ozarks as you get close. At around 2 hours 45 minutes of driving, loading, transport, and delivery almost always fit into one working day.

Distance 165 miles
Drive time ~2.75 hours
Route US-65 South through the Ozarks foothills
Typical cost $1,300-$1,900

Being the shortest lane doesn’t mean a smaller crew or a rushed load. Marcus still walks the harder Springfield jobs himself when a piano, gun safe, or a century-old Independence home is involved — the same care that goes into a local move across Jackson County goes into this one.

One crew, door to door

The movers who load your truck in Independence ride it down US-65 and carry everything into the new place in Springfield. There’s no second crew waiting at the other end.

  • Flat rate confirmed in writing before move day, with no stair or mileage surcharge for the drive south
  • $150 refundable deposit, credited to your final invoice
  • Veteran, disabled, and active/retired military discounts applied before you sign

Not headed to Springfield? The Wichita lane and Omaha lane run similar distances in other directions, and the St. Louis route covers the longest haul we run.

Before You Book This Route

What highway do you take from Independence to Springfield?▾

US-65 south, running about 165 miles into the Ozarks foothills in roughly 2 hours 45 minutes of drive time.

Is this route cheaper because it's shorter?▾

Yes, Springfield runs $1,300-$1,900 for a typical household, the lowest of our four long-distance lanes, though piano, safe, or packing needs are quoted on top of that range.

Does a shorter route mean a smaller crew?▾

No. Springfield moves get the same crew size and the same owner-level attention as our longer lanes, including Marcus himself on the tougher historic-home jobs.

Our Payroll, Not a Subcontractor

Everyone who touches your boxes cleared a background check first, and every one of them draws a Moving Kings paycheck — nobody’s borrowed in for the day.
