Moving Companies in Carrollton, TX
Carrollton moves under 50 miles are almost always billed by the hour rather than by total weight. A standard two-mover crew with a truck averages about $103 per hour, so a studio or one-bedroom apartment usually runs $400 to $700 over three to four hours. A two-to-three-bedroom home typically lands between $900 and $1,800 across six to nine hours, while a four-bedroom house or larger often reaches $2,000 to $3,500 or more depending on volume and specialty items.
Long-distance relocations of 50 miles or more switch to a weight-and-distance model. Smaller loads can start around $500 to $1,000, while interstate moves commonly scale past $5,000. The average local move in the area sits near $1,400, and a long-distance move of roughly 1,000 miles averages about $5,450.
Before signing, verify the mover's TxDMV credentials through the state database so you know the company is licensed and insured for intrastate work. If you live in an apartment complex or tight subdivision, reserve a close parking spot or freight elevator ahead of time so the crew does not rack up long-carry charges while waiting.
Pack a clear bin with medications, chargers, basic tools, toiletries, toilet paper, and critical documents, then keep it in your own car instead of burying it in the truck. After the job, tipping each mover about $20 to $40 for a half-day, or $40 to $60 for a full day, is standard, adjusted for speed and care.

Carrollton refills from a distance: nearby counties pull households out, and the rest of the country only partly replaces them.
Each bar shows that state's in/out split — rows are ranked by total volume.
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.
