Moving Companies in Irving, TX
Irving sits in the middle of the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, and that geography shapes how a move here gets billed. Crews dispatch from all across a sprawling urban area, and Texas movers are legally allowed to charge a travel fee — often the equivalent of one hour of driving — to cover the crew's drive from the warehouse to your home and back. Distance is the other structural factor: any job under 100 miles counts as local and runs on hourly rates, while anything farther is quoted on weight, volume and mileage instead.
For local work, a standard crew of two or three movers with a truck typically bills $134 to $367 per hour, and the size of your home determines how many of those hours you pay for.
| Home Size | Typical Local Cost |
|---|---|
| Studio or one bedroom | $199 – $440 |
| Two bedrooms | $478 – $735 |
| Three or four bedrooms | $1,136 – $2,009 |
| Five or more bedrooms | $2,022 – $3,111+ |
A long-distance move leaving Irving is priced differently: a typical two- to three-bedroom shipment usually falls between $1,500 and $8,500+, with the total mileage and shipment volume doing most of the work in that calculation.
Whatever the distance, ask specifically about long-carry, stair and bulky-item charges before booking, since those are the fees that most often inflate a final bill. Keep in mind that standard mover liability in Texas is only around $0.60 per pound for an item, meaning a dropped $1,000 television that weighs 30 pounds brings a legal payout of just $18 — so check whether your own insurance covers goods in transit or purchase full-value protection. Packing a first-night box with essentials and taking timestamped photos of walls and furniture before loading are cheap insurance of a different kind.

Irving 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.
