Take a look through the movers listed below before you start collecting quotes for a move in or around Balch Springs.

Local jobs in the Dallas-Fort Worth area are billed hourly: a standard two-to-three mover crew runs $100 to $200 an hour, while labor-only help, if you already have a truck, starts around $50 to $60 per mover per hour. By home size, a studio or one-to-two bedroom apartment averages about $850 for a four-hour job with two movers, a mid-size two-to-three bedroom home averages around $1,170 for five hours with three movers, and a larger four-plus bedroom home runs $1,690 or more for a seven-hour job.

A few things push the bill higher than expected. Crews driving in from Dallas or Garland often start the hourly clock the moment they leave their shop, so ask directly when it starts and stops. Basic liability required by law is thin — about $0.60 per pound per item, meaning a $1,000 television weighing 30 pounds is worth just $18 in a claim. Check every closet and the garage yourself before finalizing a number, since an inventory that is off leads to surprise charges on moving day. Booking an early morning slot during peak summer heat also tends to move faster, which keeps hourly costs down.

Households arriving from another state report $85,070 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Texas report $70,941. Long-distance arrivals are the higher-budget half of the market.

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 Dallas 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.

How much truck space do you need?

I’m moving a that’s .

A moving truck filling up as you change the options
1,150
cubic feet — what a local crew loads
8,050 lb what a long-distance carrier quotes on
26 ft rental truck, if you drive it yourself

Industry rules of thumb — about seven pounds per cubic foot, and published rental-truck capacities. Not our carrier records, not a quote. Bring both numbers to the call and what you get back will finally be comparable.
