What a move with Action Moving should cost
Not Action Moving's rates: what the published model says a comparable move from Joplin costs, to judge a written estimate against.
Local moves in Joplin: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in Joplin: 2 movers × 5–7 hours × $39–$49 an hour, plus $75 travel, is $465 – $761.
| Home | Crew | Hours | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 2 | 2–3 | $231 – $369 |
| 1 bedroom | 2 | 3–5 | $309 – $565 |
| 2 bedrooms | 2 | 5–7 | $465 – $761 |
| 3 bedrooms | 3 | 6–9 | $777 – $1,398 |
| 4 bedrooms | 4 | 8–10 | $1,323 – $2,035 |
| 5+ bedrooms | 4 | 10–12 | $1,635 – $2,427 |
Hourly rates are scaled to Missouri: hand movers there earn a median $18.79 an hour against $19.35 nationally (BLS, May 2025), so the model's national $40–$50 band becomes $39–$49 per mover per hour.

Before you book Action Moving
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC402403
Action Moving can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC402403. If the written estimate names a van line or another carrier, that company is the one legally responsible for your goods, so check its number too.
- 2
Ask for Joplin references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Action Moving's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Joplin you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Action Moving driver holds a CDL, so its trucks are rated 26,000 lb or less. For a three- or four-bedroom home, ask how many trucks or trips the estimate assumes; on an hourly job a second trip is paid time.
- 4
Judge the estimate against $465 – $761
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Joplin at $465 – $761 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $5,913 – $7,884. A surveyed, written estimate from Action Moving far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
