Trusted by Texas Families Since 2003
Punctual, good and professional. Condor Moving System is my go-to moving guys now. Fairly priced for the level of professional moving service they provide to their customers. They were very good in communication to me and among themselves. I have had many bad experiences with multiple movers before it. Condor is the first ever company that I found nobody to complain about, which is maybe a pretty rare thing to say about relocators.Thomas C Davison
Movers did a great moving job even though it was a not smooth and it's a very long job. Best value for the money we spend. They stayed professional and were kind throughout the move process. They recognized my items and if I needed to change the things, they did it for me rapidly. Very friendly teamwork. Will surly use them again!Denis Tanney
These movers did a best job even though it was a tough and time taking job. Best value for the money it cost. Stayed professional and were helpful throughout the day of move. Honored my goods and if I required things changed they did it for me in little time. Very coordinated teamwork. Will definitely use them again for coming movers!Marks Josephine
Moving Between Texas and Missouri Since 2003
Condor Moving Systems is a licensed interstate mover that handles household and office relocations between Texas and Missouri in both directions.
Missouri is a mid-length lane, running I-44 northeast for St. Louis and Springfield or I-35 north for Kansas City. Springfield is barely 500 miles from Dallas–Fort Worth. Your shipment is inventoried and tagged at pickup, travels on our equipment, and is delivered by a crew working from that same inventory.
Condor operates from locations in Fort Worth and Houston and serves the entire state of Texas, running its own trucks and crews rather than subcontracted labor.
What we handle on this route:
- Household moves, Texas to Missouri
- Household moves, Missouri to Texas
- Full and partial packing
- Custom crating for art, mirrors and glass
- Office and corporate relocation
- Storage in transit between dates
- Specialty items and difficult pieces
- Full inventory with numbered tags
How Far Is It From Texas to Missouri?
A Texas to Missouri move covers roughly 480 to 900 miles depending on which Texas city you leave and whether you are heading for Kansas City, Springfield, Columbia or St. Louis. Interstate moves are scheduled with a delivery spread rather than a single guaranteed date, because a trailer carries more than one household. Your estimate states the window for your specific route and dates.
| Route | Approx. driving distance | Main corridor |
|---|---|---|
| Dallas–Fort Worth → Springfield | 480 miles | US 69 / I-44 |
| Dallas–Fort Worth → Kansas City | 510 miles | I-35 north |
| Dallas–Fort Worth → St. Louis | 630 miles | US 69 / I-44 |
| Dallas–Fort Worth → Columbia | 620 miles | I-35 to I-70 |
| Houston → St. Louis | 780 miles | US 59 / I-44 |
| Houston → Kansas City | 800 miles | US 75 / I-35 |
| Austin → St. Louis | 830 miles | I-35 to I-44 |
| San Antonio → Kansas City | 750 miles | I-35 north |
Distances are approximate driving miles and will vary with routing, weather and road conditions. Transit time is quoted per shipment.
How Much Does It Cost to Move From Texas to Missouri?
An interstate move is priced on the weight or volume of your shipment plus mileage — not by the hour. That is the key difference from a local move. A crew billed hourly has an incentive to work slowly; a shipment priced on weight and distance does not, which is why interstate moves are quoted this way.
What Determines Your Price
- Weight or volume of the shipment
- Distance between origin and destination
- Packing services, full or partial
- Packing materials and custom crating
- Specialty items such as pianos or safes
- Stairs, elevators and long carries at either end
- Shuttle service where a tractor-trailer cannot reach
- Storage in transit, if dates do not line up
- Valuation coverage you select
- Time of year and date flexibility
How to Keep the Cost Down
- Purge before the estimate, not after — you pay to move weight
- Book outside the May to August peak if you can
- Give a flexible delivery window rather than a fixed date
- Pack what you reasonably can yourself
- Take an accurate inventory so the estimate is not padded
- Sort out condo and HOA paperwork early to avoid a wasted trip
- Ask about consolidating with another shipment on the same lane
- Measure oversized furniture against the new doorways first
Interstate household moves are regulated by the FMCSA. Condor provides the federal Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move booklet with interstate estimates, and your written estimate shows the expected charges before loading day.
What to Expect Delivering in Missouri
Missouri is three delivery markets, and the older neighborhoods are the hard part. Brick city housing, Ozark lake properties, tornado season and river flooding all shape the day. Here is what we plan for.
St. Louis Brick Neighborhoods
The Central West End, Soulard, Lafayette Square, Tower Grove and the South City blocks are lined with brick homes on narrow streets, often loading from a rear alley with no driveway. Expect a curb stop and a longer carry, and in some cases a shuttle where a full-size truck cannot get in.
Steep Interior Stairs
Older Missouri housing frequently has narrow, steep staircases with tight landings, and second and third-floor flats are common. Larger furniture sometimes has to be disassembled. Tell us the floor and the stair situation when you request your estimate.
Ozark Lake Properties
Homes on the Lake of the Ozarks, Table Rock and Truman Lake often sit well below road grade with long stairways down to the house, or on private lanes with weight limits. That changes crew size and time, so it needs identifying upfront.
Tornado & Storm Season
Missouri sits in an active severe weather corridor, with tornado risk concentrated in spring and again in autumn. Conditions are watched ahead of your date and a move is rescheduled rather than driven into an active warning.
River Flooding
The Missouri and Mississippi rivers flood recurrently, closing low-lying routes and access roads with little notice. Routing is set when the move is quoted and reviewed again before dispatch.
Kansas City & St. Louis Loft Buildings
Converted warehouse and loft buildings in the Crossroads, River Market, downtown St. Louis and the Central West End have freight elevators booked in fixed blocks and require a certificate of insurance naming the building. Send the requirements with your estimate request.

How an Interstate Move Works
- Step 1
Survey
An in-home or virtual walkthrough of every room, closet, garage and attic, so the estimate is built on your actual inventory.
- Step 2
Written Estimate
You receive the expected charges in writing, with packing, materials, access and any shuttle itemized rather than added later.
- Step 3
Schedule Locked
On approval we reserve the crew and equipment, confirm your delivery window and start on any condo or HOA paperwork.
- Step 4
Pack & Load
Everything is padded, inventoried and tagged. You get a copy of the inventory before the trailer leaves.
- Step 5
Delivery in Missouri
We check the shipment in against that same inventory, place furniture in the rooms you designate and reassemble what we took apart.

Texas to Missouri Moving FAQ
How much does it cost to move from Texas to Missouri?
An interstate move from Texas to Missouri is priced on the weight or volume of your shipment plus the mileage, not by the hour. Access is the variable people underestimate here — St. Louis brick neighborhoods often mean alley loading and a long carry, and Ozark lake homes frequently sit below road grade. Condor provides a written estimate showing the expected charges before your shipment is loaded.
How long does a move from Texas to Missouri take?
Dallas–Fort Worth to Springfield is about 480 miles, to Kansas City about 510 and to St. Louis about 630. From Houston add roughly 150 to 300 miles. Interstate moves are scheduled with a delivery spread rather than a single guaranteed date. Your estimate states the window for your route.
Can you deliver in an older St. Louis neighborhood?
Yes, with planning. The Central West End, Soulard, Lafayette Square and Tower Grove have narrow streets, rear alley loading and homes with no driveway. We check access before the move, position the truck as close as the street allows, and shuttle with a smaller vehicle where a full-size truck cannot get in.
My Missouri lake house is below the road with stairs. Does that matter?
Yes, quite a lot. Homes on the Lake of the Ozarks, Table Rock and Truman Lake often sit well below road grade with long stairways, and some private lanes carry weight limits. Tell us when you request the estimate, ideally with a photo, so the crew and price reflect the actual conditions.
Which Missouri cities does Condor deliver to?
Condor delivers throughout Missouri, including St. Louis, Kansas City, Springfield, Columbia, Independence, Lee’s Summit, Blue Springs, St. Charles, O’Fallon, Chesterfield, Kirkwood, Clayton, Joplin, Branson, Osage Beach, Jefferson City and Cape Girardeau.
Is Condor Moving Systems licensed for interstate moves?
Yes. Condor Moving Systems operates under USDOT 1126171 and MC 458180 for interstate moves and TxDMV 006041428C within Texas. Interstate household moves are regulated by the FMCSA, and Condor provides the federal Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move booklet with interstate estimates.
What if my Missouri home is not ready when my shipment arrives?
Condor offers storage in transit for gaps between move-out and move-in. Your goods stay inventoried so the same shipment is redelivered without a second full pack. Tell your moving consultant if your closing or lease date is uncertain so the schedule is built with that in mind.
