Moving Companies in Kirksville, MO
Kirksville is a smaller hub, so full-service movers based directly in town are limited — many residents end up using regional Missouri companies from Columbia or Moberly, or pairing a truck rental with local loading help.
For a standard local move under 100 miles, expect $100 to $145 an hour for a two- to three-person crew and truck. A typical two-bedroom home move usually totals $1,100 to $2,100.
If you rent your own truck and just need labor, local helpers run about $50 to $80 an hour for two workers. A local truck rental itself runs roughly $50 to $150, plus fuel and mileage.
Because major moving fleets are an hour or more away, regional companies may add a travel or trip charge to cover the drive out to Kirksville — ask whether that's bundled into your hourly rate or billed separately.
Insist on a binding estimate for anything long-distance, since a non-binding quote can legally rise once the crew shows up. Long-distance moves out of the area run $2,300 to $8,000 or more, priced by weight and mileage rather than an hourly clock.
Verify a mover's USDOT and MC numbers before handing over a deposit — unlicensed operators often carry no cargo insurance, so a dropped or damaged item leaves you with no recourse.
With those regional quirks factored in, the listings below are a solid starting point for comparing who actually covers Adair County.

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 Adair County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 73% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
