What Drives a Midlothian Move Up
Most local jobs run on an hourly meter. The meter typically starts when the crew reaches the first address and only stops after unloading at the second. Transit between suburbs may appear as a separate travel fee or added time. The final invoice climbs if the job includes stairs or multi-level floors, a long carry between the front door and the truck, packing services, or heavy specialty items such as pianos and safes.
Land on the Low End
A written binding or not-to-exceed estimate keeps the total from drifting upward; without it, a non-binding figure can rise if the crew works longer than planned. Prepping on your own—disassembling bed frames, unplugging electronics, and packing loose items into sealed boxes—trims paid hours. Ask about a cash discount—it can reduce the total—and confirm whether card payments carry a processing fee of 2% to 4%.
Price Benchmarks
| Move Size or Crew | Typical Cost |
|---|---|
| 2-person crew with truck | $120–$175 per hour |
| 3–4 movers | $175–$250+ per hour |
| Studio / 1-bedroom apartment | $450–$900 |
| 2-bedroom home or apartment | $1,300–$2,500 |
| 3+ bedroom house | $2,300–$4,000+ |
Tipping generally lands around $4–$5 per mover per hour, or 15%–20% of the total bill split among the crew. Basic carrier liability is thin, roughly $0.60 per pound per item, so high-value furniture or electronics may justify Full Value Protection.

Each bar shows that state's in/out split — rows are ranked by total volume.

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 Cook County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 8% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
