Door-to-door pickup across Adair County, reached by carriers on US-63, with routes to Kansas City and Omaha.
Kirksville is the main town of the Kirksville micropolitan area in Adair County. The Census Bureau estimated about 17,500 residents in 2023.
Kirksville is not on an interstate. The closest is I-70, about 85 miles away in a straight line, and US-63 is the main highway through town. Because of that, pickups here usually take a little more planning than in cities on a main truck route. Truman State University brings student moves at the start and end of each term.
Weather is rarely the main scheduling factor here. Holiday weeks and month-end moving days matter more.
