Melissa sits within the fast-growing Dallas-Fort Worth metro, where local movers price jobs by crew size and hours rather than a flat rate. Texas also requires movers to hold a TxDMV registration for in-state moves, which is worth checking before you book.

ItemTypical Cost
Local move cost range (DFW benchmark)$331 - $2,596
Basic valuation coverage$0.60 per pound per item
Example payout (40 lb, $2,000 TV)$24

That state-minimum coverage is why movers with high-value items often ask about additional valuation protection before moving day.

Households arriving from another state report $115,111 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Texas report $94,627. 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 Collin County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 12% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.

How much truck space do you need?

I’m moving a that’s .

A moving truck filling up as you change the options
1,150
cubic feet — what a local crew loads
8,050 lb what a long-distance carrier quotes on
26 ft rental truck, if you drive it yourself

Industry rules of thumb — about seven pounds per cubic foot, and published rental-truck capacities. Not our carrier records, not a quote. Bring both numbers to the call and what you get back will finally be comparable.
