Moving in Independence: What to Expect
Independence is the historic town east of Kansas City, President Truman's home, the old courthouse Square, and established neighborhoods of mid-century family homes. Most moves here are the comfortable kind, with driveways and room to work, so we put that to use, plan the route out I-70, and keep an Independence move on time.
What to square away before a Independence move
- Established homes have older halls, doorways, and staircases
- Some historic-district streets are narrow with limited parking
- The run out I-70 factors into the day's timing

Three Steps to Moving Day
From that opening hello to the last box carried in and set down in its proper room.
Tell Us About the Move
Tell us about the move over the phone, on a quick video call, or straight through the form. What comes back is a flat price in writing, never a squishy figure that swells once the truck is loaded.
Lock In Your Date
Pick your day and we match the right crew and truck to it, then sort the loading-zone permit, the building certificate of insurance, or the freight-elevator booking your move needs.
We Carry the Load
One lead owns the whole job, wrap, load, drive, and placement, with our own Kansas City crew, and we plan the run around I-70, I-35, and the I-435 loop to keep the day on time.

Your Move, Fully Covered
Covered from the first blanket we throw over your things to the last box carried up to the second floor.
Fully Insured
Every job carries cargo and liability coverage, and we go over your valuation choices with you before you put pen to paper.
Loft & Walk-Up Ready
Freight-elevator bookings and building certificates of insurance for the Plaza and Crossroads lofts, plus cramped Brookside stairwells and tight Westport walk-ups, we scout the carry and the parking so a loft or third-floor move never stalls at the door.
Padded & Wrapped
Every piece gets blanketed, shrink-wrapped, and firmly strapped down. If something does take a knock, we call it out on the spot and set it right.
Done Right
An honest price, a crew that truly cares about the work, and no one clocks out until every last piece is exactly where you want it.
We Know Independence
We plan the older-home carry, the historic-street parking, and the route before your date, so an Independence move stays smooth and on schedule. One lead stays with your job from the first knock to the last box, and the flat price is in your hands before a thing gets loaded.

Chris and Taylor did an amazing job!
Fantastic move! Hired the guys to help unload a 20-foot truck. Raheem and Sergio were wonderful. They hustled, were professional, and fun to deal with. They handled all my things carefully and even helped put together some furniture. 10/10 would recommend!
Great experience with these movers today! They helped me move across the KC area, from Brookside to Waldo. Appreciate all their help. Definitely recommend!

Questions We Hear a Lot
Do you move within Independence?
Yes, all across Independence and the Square. Local moves run on our flat hourly with a written estimate, and we plan the older-home carry and the route ahead. When the move leaves the metro, we price it on weight and mileage instead.
Are you licensed and insured?
We are. 2 Dudes And A Truck holds Missouri and Kansas household-goods authority and full insurance, and your job rides with our own crew from start to finish, with no broker sneaking in to take a cut. We are happy to go over the authority numbers and coverage with you, and we will talk through your valuation options before anything is set.
Can you take on a loft or condo move that requires a building COI?
Yes, we do these constantly. Plaza condos and the loft conversions in the Crossroads and River Market want a certificate of insurance on file and the freight elevator held for a fixed window. We send the COI over to building management, lock the elevator, pad the cab and corridors, and wrap up inside your booked slot so the dock frees up on time.
My Brookside bungalow has a tight, steep staircase. Is that a problem?
That is right in our wheelhouse. The old brick houses across Brookside, Waldo, and Hyde Park come with steep original staircases, pinched doorways, and low basement headroom. We read every turn, pad the jambs and railings, and hoist or hand-carry anything that will not round the corner, just as we have done since 2015.
Will you handle the packing?
However much you would like. Need the whole house boxed? Consider it done. Only the kitchen and the artwork? That works too. We show up with heavy-duty cartons and paper, label every box by room, and once the truck is empty we will unpack you at the new place.
Will you take on pianos, gun safes, and pool tables?
Yes, and our crew moves them week in and week out. Upright or grand, a loaded gun safe, a slate pool table, a family heirloom, or a framed canvas, each one rides the right board or dolly under proper straps and pads, and we build a custom crate whenever a piece calls for one.
Can I move or cancel my date?
Of course. Give us at least two days’ notice to reschedule or cancel and your full deposit comes right back. Every term is spelled out in plain words on your booking, so nothing is left to guesswork.
