Moving Companies in Ennis, TX
Before booking a crew in Ennis, run through these checks so the quote you get matches the bill you actually pay.
- Ask the hourly rate for your crew size: local rates run $80 to $190 an hour, with labor-only help, where you supply the truck, at the low end around $80 to $120, and full-service crews with a truck at $100 to $250 or more.
- Ask when the clock starts: many companies bill from the time the crew leaves their warehouse, not from arrival at your door, so a drive-time or travel fee can add real cost before any work begins.
- Ask what basic liability actually covers: by default it is about $0.60 per pound per item, so a 20-pound, $1,000 television is only covered for around $12 if it is damaged.
- Ask about access fees: narrow streets, tight apartment complexes, or multiple flights of stairs can trigger a long-carry or stair surcharge if the truck cannot park close to your door.
- Ask for the company's TxDMV number and confirm it is licensed and insured before handing over a deposit.

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 Ellis County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 25% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
