Hourly labor for a two-mover crew averages around $150 per hour, or roughly $75 to $76 per hour per worker if you're just hiring muscle to load or unload a truck or container you already have.
A few things worth knowing before you book. Never accept a long-distance quote given only over the phone — insist on an in-home or video walkthrough, since some companies will claim your items weighed more than estimated once the truck is loaded and hold your belongings until you pay extra. Standard valuation coverage pays only $0.60 per pound per item, so a $2,000 TV weighing 30 pounds is worth just $18 under that formula. If the truck can't park close to your door, or your home has multiple flights of stairs or a steep driveway, expect that to show up as an extra fee unless you mention it upfront. Pack medications, chargers, and documents in your own car rather than the truck, and budget $4 to $6 per mover per hour for tipping.

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 New Castle County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 36% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
