| 2–3 Bedroom | $800 – $1,800+ |
| 4+ Bedroom | $2,000 – $4,500+ |
A cheaper route if you're willing to lift
Renting a truck yourself and hiring labor-only help instead of a full-service crew can cost less overall.
| Option | Estimated Cost |
|---|---|
| Full-Service Crew | $100 – $200 / hr |
| DIY Truck Rental (local) | $54 – $133 |
| Labor-Only Help | $40 – $75 / hr per mover |
What adds to the bill
Most companies charge a travel fee, often double-drive time, to cover getting the truck to Hartly and back to their warehouse. Heavy or specialty items like a piano, hot tub, or large safe usually aren't included in the base quote and can add $150 to $500 per item. Standard coverage pays just $0.60 per pound per item, so ask about upgraded protection for anything valuable. Since Hartly has plenty of rural properties, confirm a full-size truck can actually reach your door — a long carry from the road can mean an extra labor fee.

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 Kent County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 76% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
