A state employee who’d just accepted a job near the Capitol called our office last spring with two weeks to find a rental in Topeka and clear out of her Osawatomie house before the new owners moved in. Megan Hutchins had the walkthrough done two days later.
K-68 to US-75
The route runs K-68 west out of Osawatomie to Ottawa, then north on US-75 straight into Topeka — about 65 miles, usually finished well before dinner.
- Distance: about 65 miles
- Corridor: K-68 west to Ottawa, then US-75 north
- Transit: same day, typically morning load to afternoon delivery
Megan’s Take
“Topeka moves come in fast more than any other route we run — state jobs, university housing, that kind of thing. Doesn’t mean we skip the walkthrough, it means we do it quicker.” — Megan Hutchins, crew chief
Short notice doesn’t change who shows up on move day. Megan’s crew is the same crew that gave the estimate, whether you booked three weeks out or three days.
What to Expect
- Walkthrough, often scheduled within days of your call.
- Load at your Osawatomie or Miami County address.
- K-68 west to Ottawa, then US-75 north.
- Unload and reassembly, same day.

Osawatomie → Topeka — Estimated Cost
| Home Size | Estimated Flat Rate | Typical Transit |
|---|---|---|
| Studio / 1BR | $445 | same day |
| 2BR | $725 | same day |
| 3BR+ | $1,050 | same day |
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 Topeka?
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 Topeka — 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.
