Can you finish my move to Springfield in one day?
For most apartments and homes up to three or four bedrooms, yes. We load in the morning and deliver the same day. Larger homes may need an extra day, and we tell you that upfront.
Reliable Long Distance Movers
Missouri sits right across the state line from Bella Vista and Pea Ridge, which makes it one of the easiest interstate moves you can make. It is also one of the most common. Missouri ranks among the top three states for Arkansans heading out and for newcomers moving in. Young’s Moving Service handles both directions, from a starter apartment in Joplin to a family home in the Kansas City suburbs.
Because many Missouri cities are only a few hours from our Rogers base, a lot of these moves are finished in a single day. That means fewer nights in a hotel, less time with your furniture on the road and a lower bill than most people expect for a move across state lines.

Missouri Cities We Serve Most
Springfield, Branson and Joplin: Same-Day Moves
Springfield is roughly two hours from Rogers, Joplin a little over one hour and Branson about two hours. For most homes, our crew loads in the morning, drives north and has your furniture placed in your new Missouri home by evening. These short runs are a great fit for students heading to Missouri State, families moving closer to relatives in the Ozarks and retirees choosing the Table Rock Lake area.
Kansas City: Early Morning Load, Evening or Next-Morning Delivery
Kansas City is about three and a half to four hours up I-49, one of the smoothest interstate routes out of Northwest Arkansas. Depending on the size of your home and how long unloading takes, we deliver the same evening or first thing the next morning. We serve Overland Park, Lee’s Summit, Olathe, Liberty and the rest of the metro, including addresses on the Kansas side.
St. Louis: Planned Two-Day Moves
St. Louis is around five hours away. We usually load on day one and deliver on day two, which gives the crew time to work carefully with the historic brick homes, narrow alleys and walk-up flats common in neighborhoods like Soulard, Tower Grove and The Hill.
Smaller Towns Across Southwest Missouri
We also move customers to and from Neosho, Carthage, Nixa, Ozark, Monett, Lebanon and other towns in between. If it is in Missouri, ask us. There is a good chance we have already been there.
Why a Short Interstate Move Still Deserves a Pro Crew
Some people treat a two-hour move like a local one and rent a truck. It can work, but the risks add up quickly. A rental truck on Ozark hills with a full load is hard to handle, and a driver who is also the packer and lifter is exhausted before the unloading even starts. Here is what you get when our team handles it instead:
- Trained movers who pad, wrap and load furniture so it arrives without scratches
- A truck driven by an experienced operator, not a tired family member
- Disassembly and reassembly of beds, dining tables and sectionals
- Protection for floors, doorways and railings at both homes
- One crew from pickup to delivery, with no hand-off to another company

What Affects the Price of an Arkansas to Missouri Move?
Short interstate moves are often priced very differently from cross-country moves, and that usually works in your favor. The main things that shape your quote are:
| Factor | How It Affects Your Price |
|---|---|
| Destination city | A same-day Springfield or Joplin move costs less than an overnight St. Louis trip. |
| Home size | More rooms mean more crew hours and a larger truck. |
| Packing | Packing yourself saves money. Professional packing saves time and reduces breakage. |
| Access at each home | Stairs, elevators and long walks from the truck add labor time. |
| Move date | Weekdays and mid-month dates are easier to book and often cost less. |
To keep costs down, declutter before your estimate. Anything you sell or donate is weight you don’t pay to move. Our packing list guide can help you get organized.
Relocating From Missouri to Northwest Arkansas?
Plenty of Missourians are making the trip south for jobs in Bentonville, the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville and a growing arts and food scene across the region. We make that move just as often as the northbound one. Our crew picks up anywhere in Missouri and delivers to Rogers, Bentonville, Fayetteville, Springdale, Bella Vista, Pea Ridge, Centerton, Lowell and nearby towns.
