When You Move Sets the Price
In East Moline, the day and week you book can shift your total more than almost anything else. Weekend and end-of-month slots carry a premium because demand surges. If your calendar has room, a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday mid-month typically lands lower hourly rates.
How the Billing Clock Runs
For local jobs under 50 to 100 miles, you pay by the hour. Most crews start the timer when the truck leaves the warehouse, so expect 30 to 45 minutes of transit added to each end. Always ask when billing begins and ends, and get a written binding or not-to-exceed estimate — a non-binding figure can legally climb if the work takes longer.
What to Budget
Labor-only help typically runs $40 to $97 per mover per hour, while a two-person crew usually lands between $150 and $200 or more per hour. A move that includes a truck sits in a higher hourly tier. Depending on home size, a full job commonly settles between $320 and $660. Oversized items such as pianos or safes may add a surcharge or extra mover, raising the hourly figure.
Plan gratuity at about $4 to $5 per mover per hour, or roughly 15% to 20% of the total spread among the crew. Basic liability coverage pays little — per item, it often covers only 60 cents per pound — so ask about full-value protection before you pick a date.

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 Rock Island County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 42% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
