Moving Companies in Grand Prairie, TX
A two-person crew with a truck bills $100 to $200 hourly. Full local jobs total $300 to $1,500, based on home size. A travel fee applies both directions. Drive time to your home and back to base counts toward the hourly rate. Heavy items add a surcharge. Pianos, safes, and pool tables cost extra. Stairs and long carries add extra too. Movers need a TxDMV number. Check the state database before booking. Tipping runs 15% to 20% of the bill, split among the crew. That's about $20 to $40 per mover for a half-day job. Weekends, summer months, and end-of-month dates cost 20% to 30% more.

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.
