Moving Companies in Canton, TX
How are movers priced for a move around Canton?
A local move under 100 miles is billed hourly, while anything long-distance is priced by weight and total mileage instead.
What should I watch for with hourly billing?
Some crews begin billing the second the truck pulls out of the shop in Tyler or Lindale, not when it actually reaches your driveway in Canton. Ask exactly when billing starts and stops, and whether travel time or rounding up to the next hour applies.
Will First Monday Trade Days affect my move?
If your move falls on the weekend before the first Monday of the month, traffic near Hwy 19 or Hwy 64 can get heavy enough to add real hours to an hourly-priced job. Avoid that weekend if your route runs through downtown.
What about a piano or other heavy item?
Bulky items like pianos, large safes, or pool tables often carry a flat surcharge of $150 to $400, so disclose them on your first call. Also worth knowing: standard liability coverage pays only $0.60 per pound per item, meaning a $1,000 TV weighing 30 pounds is covered for just $18 if it's dropped.
Checking a company's TxDMV number and getting a written estimate up front covers most of what can go wrong on moving day.

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 Van Zandt County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 31% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
