What changes the price
Adding a mover typically adds $30 to $50 an hour to the crew rate, though the job often finishes faster. Most companies also add a travel fee to cover the drive from their base to your address and back. Heavy or oversized items, such as pianos, gun safes, or hot tubs, commonly carry a $150 to $400 or more handling charge per item.
Before you book
Basic liability coverage included by most movers is limited to about $0.60 per pound per item, well short of replacement value for electronics or furniture. Taking apart your own furniture ahead of time and clearing a straight path to the door both cut minutes off an hourly bill.

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Scott County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 45% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
