The Dudes Moving Co. is a family owned moving company that runs local moves in Kansas City and up to 70 miles outside it. Minimums vary by season: 2-hour minimum, or 3-hour minimum during peak season (May through September). You can also hire our movers by the hour to load or unload a truck you rented yourself.
Local Movers Kansas City Residents Book by the Hour
Our movers start from our base at 1004 East 18th Avenue in North Kansas City. From there we cover both sides of the state line, from Liberty and Gladstone in the Northland to Overland Park, Olathe and Lee’s Summit in the south. Kansas City, Missouri alone stretches across Jackson, Clay, Platte and Cass counties, so a move “across town” can mean a short hop or a long drive. You pay for the time the move takes, and nothing more.
Every local move comes with trained, background-checked movers. Beds, desks and bookshelves get taken apart and put back together at no extra charge. Need to move fast? We can often book a local move with as little as 24 hours notice.

People who search for cheap movers in Kansas City usually want a low number and no surprises later. The things that change your total are the ones that change the hours: how much you own, how many flights of stairs, how far the truck parks from your door, elevator waits, and the drive between homes. Packing everything before we arrive keeps the clock short.
Three Ways to Book a Local Move
Pick the option that matches the size of the job. Each one uses the same movers and the same guarantees.
Full Local Move With Our Truck
Two movers and a truck load your home or office, drive it to the new place and set each piece in the room you choose. This is the right fit for most houses and apartments. See our residential movers and apartment movers pages for home-specific details.
Hourly Moving and Labor Only
Already rented a truck or a container? Book our movers by the hour to load it or unload it. Hourly labor also works for event setup or for moving heavy furniture from one room to another inside your home.
Furniture Movers Kansas City Homes Call for Heavy Pieces
Sometimes you do not need a whole move. You need one sectional down a basement stairway or a new dresser carried to the second floor. Our furniture movers handle single items and full rooms at the same hourly rate.
We wrap each piece before it leaves the room and take apart anything that will not fit through a doorway. If we damage an item during your move, we repair or replace it. Common furniture jobs include:
- Beds, bed frames and headboards, taken apart and rebuilt
- Dressers, desks and bookshelves
- Sectionals, sleeper sofas and recliners
- Dining tables and china cabinets
- Upright and grand pianos, handled by our piano movers
Planning Your Local Move Across the Metro
Missouri and Kansas cities sit side by side here, so many local moves cross the state line. We move families from Kansas City to Overland Park, from the Northland to Lee’s Summit, and from older homes near downtown to newer ones in Olathe. Moving out of the area instead? Our long distance movers handle moves that start in Kansas City.
Before moving day, book the elevator if your building has one and ask where the truck can park. Clear a path from the front door to each room. Our moving checklist walks you through the month before the move, step by step.
What Happens on Your Local Moving Day
Our movers arrive inside the arrival window we quoted. If we miss that window, we hand you $200. Show us what goes and what stays, and point out anything fragile. Then we pad, wrap and load.
At the new home, you tell us which room gets each item. We rebuild the beds and furniture we took apart and set each piece where you want it. Check each room and the truck with us before we leave. Want us to pack too? Add our packing services to your quote.
