How many people move from Saint George to Missoula
The Census Bureau's American Community Survey (2016–2020) sampled nobody moving from Washington County, UT to Missoula County, MT, or between their metro areas, so it publishes no estimate for this pair; people leaving Washington County mostly go to the counties listed below. The reverse trip does register: about 14 people a year (±23). The margin of error is as large as the estimate, so read it as a handful of households rather than a count.
At state level, the 2024 survey counts about 706 people a year (±389) moving from Utah to Montana and about 876 people a year (±582) from Montana to Utah — a net gain for Utah of about 170 people a year.

Before you book Saint George to Missoula
Ask: dedicated or consolidated?
This is the distance where carriers split. A dedicated truck costs more and delivers on a date; a consolidated load costs less and delivers in a window. Decide which you are buying before you compare prices.
Get it binding or not-to-exceed
A non-binding estimate is a guess with no ceiling. On 789 miles the gap between a guess and a weighed load is measured in four figures.
