If you’re hiring full-service movers, the average local job usually falls between $581 and $3,056, and the median reported cost is around $1,438. The final number depends mostly on home size and how much you’re moving.
Hourly full-service rates generally run about $41–$80 per mover, per hour. A typical two-person crew on a 3-to-4-hour local move often lands near $450–$600 before extra charges. If you just need loading and unloading help for a truck or storage container you’ve already rented, labor-only crews average roughly $77 per hour total, with smaller jobs ranging from $320 to $625.
Fees and fine print worth asking about
- Ask how travel time is billed. Some movers start the clock from their warehouse, not your front door, and may add a fuel surcharge.
- Get a binding or binding-not-to-exceed estimate. A non-binding figure is just a guess and can legally rise on moving day.
- Basic carrier liability is often only 60 cents per pound per item, so check your renters or homeowners coverage or buy full-value protection.
- Mention stairs, apartment parking rules, and tight driveways. Long carries or stair fees can be added when a truck can’t park close.
- For moves inside Illinois, verify the company’s Illinois Commerce Commission registration before booking.

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 St. Clair County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 43% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
