| As share of total bill | 15% - 20% |
Crews commonly start the billing clock before they even reach you, covering the drive from their base, so confirm exactly when that clock starts. Get a binding, not-to-exceed number in writing, since a rough phone quote can climb once the crew sees your actual inventory in person.
Being upfront and thorough about your inventory during the initial walkthrough also matters more than most people expect. Leaving out boxes or large furniture forces the crew into extra trips or a cramped truck, and that shows up directly in your final hourly total. If a full-service crew stretches past your budget, renting a truck yourself and handling the labor is the cheaper route, just know you're taking on all of the lifting.
With the numbers above in mind, the mover listings just below this page are a good next stop.

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 Campbell County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 28% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
