What a local move costs

If you only need loading help for a truck or POD you already rented, labor-only rates run $74 to $150 an hour, with most jobs landing between $310 and $650. Moving out of state shifts pricing to weight and distance, ranging from $900 to $16,000 depending on the haul.
Local details that affect the bill
Texas law sets free basic insurance at just $0.60 per pound per item, so a 30-pound TV that breaks nets you $18 — ask about upgrading coverage if you own anything valuable. Some companies start billing the moment their truck leaves the warehouse rather than when it arrives at your door, so confirm when the clock actually starts. Traffic on State Highway 121 and the Sam Rayburn Tollway near Grandscape can add real time to an hourly job, and neighborhoods near the lake or in master-planned communities often require a certificate of insurance or restrict moving hours, so check with your HOA before booking.
Start by reviewing local movers below and asking each one directly about clock-start rules and insurance coverage.

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 Denton County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 14% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
