Moving Companies in Dexter, MO
Dexter is a smaller hub in Stoddard County, so full-service movers frequently travel in from nearby Poplar Bluff or Cape Girardeau to cover the area. That regional setup shapes both pricing and availability more than it would in a bigger city.
What to expect to pay
- Local hourly rate: generally $100 to $135 an hour for a two-person moving crew with a truck, with a standard two-hour minimum.
- Typical local 2-bedroom move: usually $1,100 to $2,100 total, depending on volume and drive time.
- Long-distance or interstate moves: can span $2,300 up to $8,000 or beyond, based strictly on weight and mileage.
Across Missouri as a whole, local moves generally fall between $440 and $4,183, with an average hourly rate near $128 per mover. Because Dexter draws on regional companies rather than a large local roster, it is worth asking upfront how travel time from their base factors into your quote, and whether that time is billed at the full crew rate.

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Stoddard County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 45% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
