“Do you charge extra for going through Kansas City traffic?” is the most common question about the St. Louis run, and estimator Tyler Hutchins builds the answer into the figure before the truck ever loads, not after.
Through Kansas City, Then I-70 East
The route runs US-169 north to the Kansas City interstate loop, then I-70 east clear across Missouri into St. Louis.
| Home Size | Starting Price | Transit |
|---|---|---|
| Studio / 1BR | $1,050 | 1-2 days |
| 2BR | $1,700 | 2 days |
| 3BR+ | $2,500 | 2 days |
Tyler’s Note
“St. Louis is the longest stretch of interstate driving we run regularly. I price the Kansas City merge and the I-70 haul together at the walkthrough so there’s no separate line for it later.” — Tyler Hutchins, estimator
Tyler walks most St. Louis-bound homes in person before the figure goes in writing, the same as he would for a move twenty miles down the road.
What to Expect

Treat these numbers as a starting budget — the binding figure gets locked once someone from our office has walked through your home size and the access at both ends with you.
Moving Osawatomie to St. Louis?
One family crew — Megan’s usually running this stretch — handles both ends of the haul, from loading off Old Kansas City Road to carrying it in at the other end
The same people who load the truck in Osawatomie ride the whole route and unload it themselves in St. Louis — nobody hands your things off to a different crew partway, there is no reweigh at a scale, and there is no broker splitting the job between two outfits. Cole and Megan have covered these long-distance runs enough times that a gravel-lane pickup and a multi-state haul are just another Tuesday.
