★ KC's Corporate Relocation Specialists
Kansas City is a major Midwest corporate hub. Johnson provides full employee relocation programs — household goods moving, short- and long-term storage, and coordination with HR teams and relocation management companies (RMCs). We're experienced with KC's largest employers across financial services, technology, healthcare, and government sectors.
Moving within the KC metro? We serve all of the Missouri side — Kansas City proper, Lee's Summit, Independence, Blue Springs, Liberty, Raytown, Grandview, and Belton — and all of the Kansas side — Overland Park, Olathe, Shawnee, Lenexa, Prairie Village, and Leawood — with transparent hourly pricing and professional crews.
Kansas City sits at the geographic crossroads of the country — at the intersection of I-70 (east-west) and I-35 (north-south). As a United Van Lines agent, Johnson moves you anywhere in the continental US with dedicated drivers, MySite real-time tracking, and full-value protection from your KC door to your destination.
DOD-approved and experienced with PCS moves from the Kansas City region's military installations, including Fort Leavenworth — one of the most prestigious Army command and staff college installations in the country. We handle entitlements, weight tickets, and military timelines with precision.
Downsizing from a Prairie Village colonial or a Leawood estate, or transitioning a parent to a retirement community in Lee's Summit or Overland Park? Our senior move specialists handle every detail — decluttering, donation coordination, and white-glove care for a lifetime of belongings.
Full-service packing by United Van Lines–certified packers, or boxes and materials if you'd prefer to handle it yourself. Free used boxes when available. Specialty crating for art, antiques, wine collections, and electronics for long-distance shipments.
As a FIDI member and United Van Lines global agent, Johnson moves to 200+ countries worldwide — with full customs documentation, air and ocean freight options, and international move management handled in-house. Kansas City's international business community relies on our global network for inbound and outbound international relocations.
70,000 sq ft of climate-controlled, full-service storage near I-70 — the largest in the Johnson portfolio. Direct freeway access off I-70 and Highways 24 and 75, plus a full-length truck scale to 70 ft / 120,000 lbs. Also offering commercial warehouse space through Johnson Warehousing.
Kansas City is a major corporate hub in the heart of the country — and one of the most active employee relocation markets in the Midwest. Finance, healthcare, technology, and government employers are consistently moving talent in and out of the metro, and Johnson has the infrastructure to handle it at scale.
Our Lee's Summit facility — with 70,000 sq ft of storage, a full truck scale, and direct I-70 access — is purpose-built for corporate relocation volume. We coordinate directly with HR teams and relocation management companies (RMCs), handling the full relocation from origin to destination with one point of contact.
H&R Block, Cerner/Oracle Health, Commerce Bank, UMB Financial — KC's finance and fintech sector drives consistent relocation demand.
Children's Mercy, Saint Luke's Health System, Midwest Transplant Network, and KU Health System relocate medical professionals regularly.
Hallmark Cards, DST Systems, YRC Worldwide, and the Dairy Farmers of America represent KC's deep consumer brand heritage and ongoing corporate moves.
Oracle Health (formerly Cerner), Sprint/T-Mobile, VinFusion, and a growing startup ecosystem create tech employee moves across the metro.
Fort Leavenworth, the IRS Kansas City Service Center, and a significant federal agency presence generate civilian government relocation volume.
The Chiefs, Royals, Sporting KC, and the broader sports industry ecosystem create seasonal and permanent employee relocations unique to Kansas City.
Kansas City is two states, one metro. Our Lee's Summit facility is centrally positioned to serve the full bi-state market with equal coverage on both sides of the state line.
Missouri Side
Kansas Side
Kansas City has plenty of moving companies. What it doesn't have is another company with 125 years of experience, 70,000 sq ft of storage, and a nationwide network that reaches every corner of the country from the heart of it.
Sq Ft of Storage
The largest full-service storage facility in the Johnson portfolio — with direct I-70 access, truck scale, and climate control. More than any residential or commercial competitor in the KC metro.
Years in Business
Founded in 1900. Four generations of professional moving experience serving Kansas City families and businesses across both states.
United Van Lines Agent
Premier agent for America's #1 Family Mover — with MySite real-time tracking and full-value protection from KC to anywhere in the country.
States, One Team
Most KC movers are licensed in one state and scramble on the other side. Johnson is fully licensed and operational across both Missouri and Kansas — one company, one standard, both sides of the line.
Countries Served
FIDI member and United Van Lines global agent — with full customs handling and international move management for KC's international business community.
Third-Party Brokers
Licensed carrier under USDOT #077949. Your crew and your driver are Johnson employees — you're never handed to a third party.
Kansas City's active corporate, military, and residential relocation market creates diverse storage needs across both states:
Our Lee's Summit warehouse at 2225 NE Town Centre Blvd is not just a storage facility — it's a full logistics and distribution operation, with direct I-70 access, Hwy 24 and 75 access, an autoloading ramp, and a full-length public truck scale that handles the largest commercial shipments in the Midwest.

Direct Access Location
From the historic homes of Brookside and Waldo to the new builds of Olathe and Raymore, the Country Club Plaza to the Crossroads Arts District — our crews understand the access points, HOA rules, and character of every Kansas City community.
Kansas City has moving nuances that are specific to this market — two-state logistics, a major interstate installation, active corporate relocation cycles, and some of the most beloved historic residential neighborhoods in the Midwest.
Moving across the state line within the KC metro is technically an interstate move — and many moving companies aren't licensed to operate seamlessly on both sides. Johnson is fully licensed in both Missouri and Kansas, meaning a move from Brookside to Prairie Village is handled with the same crew, same truck, and same standard. No handoffs, no surprises.
Fort Leavenworth is home to the Combined Arms Center and the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College — one of the most prestigious Army installations in the world. Officers and staff rotating in and out of Leavenworth are among the most professionally demanding military movers we serve. Johnson's DOD approval and military move experience are built specifically for this level of expectation.
Brookside, Waldo, Hyde Park, Romanelli Hills, and Armour Hills are beautiful older neighborhoods — but their narrow streets, tight driveways, mature tree canopies, and limited parking require careful planning for moving trucks. Our KC crews know which neighborhoods need smaller equipment and which require street permits from the city.
Kansas City weather is notoriously variable — tornado watches in spring, ice storms in winter, and summer heat that rivals Texas. Our crews monitor forecasts and build contingency plans into every move. We protect floors and doorways in wet conditions and coordinate rescheduling protocols for severe weather days so your belongings are never exposed unnecessarily.
Johnson County, Kansas — particularly Olathe, Gardner, Spring Hill, and Edgerton — and Kansas City's Northland communities of Liberty, Smithville, and Kearney are among the metro's fastest-growing new construction markets. Builder delays and phased move-in schedules are common — our 70,000 sq ft storage bridges the gap between your current home sale and new home delivery.
The Sprint/T-Mobile campus in Overland Park, Cerner/Oracle's North Kansas City headquarters, and the growing number of corporate campuses along the 435/I-70 corridors create complex commercial moves with strict after-hours requirements, loading dock coordination, and IT equipment handling protocols. Johnson's commercial moving team is built for this level of complexity.
Yes. Johnson serves the full Kansas City metro on both sides of the state line. On the Missouri side: Kansas City proper, Lee's Summit, Independence, Blue Springs, Liberty, Raytown, Grandview, Belton, and Raymore. On the Kansas side: Overland Park, Olathe, Shawnee, Lenexa, Prairie Village, Leawood, Merriam, Mission, and Johnson County communities including Gardner, Spring Hill, and Edgerton. We're fully licensed in both states — one company, one standard, no handoffs.
Our Lee's Summit facility at 2225 NE Town Centre Blvd offers 70,000 square feet of climate-controlled, full-service storage — the largest in the Johnson portfolio and among the largest full-service moving and storage facilities in the Kansas City metro. We have direct freeway access off I-70 and Highways 24 and 75, an autoloading ramp, and a full-length public truck scale that handles trucks up to 70 feet and 120,000 lbs. We also offer commercial warehouse space through Johnson Warehousing for businesses needing logistics and distribution solutions.
Yes. Kansas City is one of the Midwest's most active corporate relocation markets. Johnson provides full employee relocation programs — household goods moving, short- and long-term storage, and direct coordination with HR teams and relocation management companies (RMCs). We're experienced with KC's major employers across financial services, healthcare, technology, and government sectors, and our 70,000 sq ft facility is built to handle corporate volume across both states.
Yes. Johnson is DOD-approved and has extensive experience with PCS moves from Fort Leavenworth — home of the Combined Arms Center and Command and General Staff College. We understand the unique expectations of officers and professionals rotating through Leavenworth, including entitlement counseling, weight ticket processing, advance unaccompanied baggage, and Storage in Transit (SIT) at our Lee's Summit facility.
We are a licensed carrier — not a broker. Johnson Storage & Moving operates under USDOT #077949 as an authorized agent for United Van Lines. We employ our own drivers, moving crews, and packers. You are never handed off to a third-party moving company — the crew that estimates your move is the same company that executes it on both sides of the KC state line.
Kansas City's peak moving season runs May through September, with June and July being the busiest months. Corporate relocation cycles, end-of-school-year family moves, and Fort Leavenworth PCS orders all converge during this window. We recommend booking 4–6 weeks in advance during peak months. Kansas City's moderate springs and falls offer excellent moving conditions with more schedule flexibility.
Yes. In addition to the immediate metro, Johnson serves Lawrence (home of the University of Kansas), Leavenworth, Lansing, Basehor, Tonganoxie, and communities in eastern Kansas. On the Missouri side we serve Harrisonville, Pleasant Hill, Excelsior Springs, Kearney, Smithville, Weston, and Atchison. Our central I-70 location gives us efficient access across a wide radius of the greater KC region.
