Moving Companies in Gladstone, MO
Gladstone falls in the Kansas City metro pricing zone, where a standard two-person crew with a truck runs $120 to $170 or more an hour, well above the statewide Missouri average of roughly $128. Need a bigger crew for a larger home? Three or more movers push that to $180 to $250-plus an hour.
By time and size: a studio or one-bedroom usually takes two to four hours and totals $300 to $700. A two- to three-bedroom home runs four to seven hours for $600 to $1,200 or more, and anything four bedrooms or bigger can run seven-plus hours and land between $1,400 and $2,500 or higher.
Watch for line items beyond the hourly rate: charges for heavy pieces like pianos or oversized safes, a stair fee when there's no elevator, a long-carry fee if the truck can't park near your door, and a flat travel or fuel surcharge covering the drive to and from your home.
Confirming which of these apply before moving day is the easiest way to keep a quoted hourly rate from turning into a much larger final bill.

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 Clay County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 28% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
