Local Moving in Kansas City
Free, No-Obligation Estimate
Metro moves done right. Our own crew, a flat written price, and the stairs, freight elevator, or building COI settled before we even pull up.
Local Moving in Kansas City
Want a local mover who truly knows Kansas City? 2 Dudes And A Truck is a licensed, insured Missouri company working since 2015, and every move runs with our own people from the first box to the last, nothing brokered out and no day-labor grabbed off an app that morning. One crew does the work, and one flat written price covers the lot.
What sets it apart
Around here the boxes rarely make or break a move. What counts is the steep original staircase in a Brookside bungalow, the thin curb parking around Westport, the certificate of insurance and freight-elevator window at a Plaza or Crossroads loft, and the ice and heat a Kansas City calendar throws at moving day. We handle all of that ahead of time, so moving day becomes the easy part.
How to get set
- Clear out and donate whatever is not making the trip
- Number your boxes by room and mark the fragile ones
- Sort the loading-zone permit, freight elevator, or building COI ahead
- Break down beds and empty dressers the night before
- Keep your papers, keys, and valuables on you
What shapes your price
- How much is coming and the home size
- Distance across the metro and out to the suburbs
- Stairs, freight elevators, parking, and COIs
- The day of the week, season, and weather
- Packing and any specialty pieces

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.

What Our Customers Say
I would be remiss for not taking these few minutes to compliment the work performed by this company. We purchased a large hutch from a friend in Prairie Village to be transported to our home in Lenexa. The piece was too big for us to move on our own or to ask of others. These guys showed up at the precise promised time, wearing masks in this time of pandemic. They completed the move in about 45 minutes, handling the piece with care and they were respectful of both homes. Additionally, both men were conscientious. The logistics for arranging this move was far simpler than for some of the bigger companies not to mention a far more reasonable rate. This will be the first company I call for any future needs, and I'm happy to recommend them to any readers here.
DQ and the crew did a good job today.
I hardly ever write reviews, but our experience with 2 Dudes and a Truck was so wonderful that I'll take the time to write a great review! We were scheduling a last minute move and got in touch with these guys two days prior to the move. They originally said their next availability was Monday but we needed to move Saturday, and they said they would let us know if there was a cancellation. Further into our conversation, they offered to come at 7am on Saturday to fit us in prior to their other appointments for the day. The scheduling process was very efficient thanks to their responsiveness. Come move day, they showed up punctually and ready to work. The move out was easy but the move into the new apartment presented some challenges. The elevator in the new building broke down the day before. These guys moved everything up a flight of stairs with absolutely no complaints, even though they expected to have an elevator. They ended up moving more furniture than we originally requested, had to use stairs instead of the elevator, and the final price still remained within the range they quoted us! Not to mention the quote was by far the most reasonable in the KC area. These young men were polite, professional, and very hardworking. I would love to hire them again for our next move!
Questions We Hear a Lot
What will my move cost?
It comes down to two things: how much you are moving and how tough the access is. A truck with two movers starts at $115/hr, and you get a written, line-item estimate before we touch the first box. Want a hard ceiling? Ask us to set a flat cap, and the number you sign becomes the most the bill can reach. For moves that cross state lines, we switch to pricing by weight and distance.
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.
When does billing start?
The clock starts the moment the crew gets to work at your door, not when we pull out of the yard. Past the first hour we bill to the minute, so seventy minutes stays seventy minutes and never gets rounded up to a flat two hours. Before anyone lifts a box, you already know the crew rate and how we count travel time.
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.
I’m moving to Kansas City from out of town. Can you help?
Absolutely, a big share of our work is folks moving into the metro, plenty of them here for a new job or to get closer to family. We set the delivery window, meet you at the new place, and handle the parking, the building COI, or the freight elevator on our end. Your things ride on our truck with our crew, and they are never sold off to whoever bids lowest that week.
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.
