I’m Wade Bratcher, and the Bowling Green to St. Louis run is the longest western route my crew runs regularly. We pick up the Natcher Parkway out of BG, drop to I-24 west through the Land Between the Lakes, cross the Mississippi at Cape Girardeau, and finish on I-55 into the Gateway City. Two hundred ninety miles, two to three days transit.
Moving Matters carries US DOT and MC interstate authority. Same crew chief from Bowling Green into University City — no broker, no handoff.

Bands cover fuel across three states, the Mississippi crossing, two crew nights on the road if needed, and unload. Flat rate is signed in Bowling Green before the truck rolls.
What the parkway-and-I-24 run looks like
- Land Between the Lakes — I-24 through Kentucky Lake country is wide open; we run it at posted speed.
- Mississippi crossing at Cape Girardeau — bridge is fine for our 26-ft trucks, no clearance issue.
- Wash U and SLU moves — Clayton apartments and University City rentals every August.
- Soulard and the Hill — older St. Louis brick homes get a smaller truck for the alley access.
The longer southwest run is on the Memphis route page. See long-distance details or jump to Moving Matters home.
