Moving Companies in Murphy, TX
Movers around Texas generally run somewhere between $424 and $3,435 for a local job, and where you land in that range comes down to home size, crew size, and how long it takes.
- Stairs or a multi-story home can add a fee if there's no elevator.
- Long-carry charges kick in when the truck can't park close to your door.
- Heavy items like a piano or a big safe usually cost extra too.
- Fuel surcharges cover the drive back to the crew's home base.
Ask when the clock actually starts and stops, since some companies tack on a flat extra hour for driving back to their office. And don't assume you're covered if something breaks: basic liability in Texas is only about $0.60 per pound per item, so a 30-pound TV worth $1,000 legally gets you just $18.
Tipping isn't required, but it's appreciated: figure on $10 to $20 an hour for each mover, or a flat $40 to $60 apiece if you're paying by the day, and keep it in cash since it doesn't always run through the card machine cleanly.
It's smart to pack a separate bag with chargers, basic tools, a change of clothes, and toiletries, and keep it with you instead of on the truck, so you're not digging through boxes on the first night.

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.
