Franklin sits close to the Tennessee line, so many moves out of Simpson County head to Nashville, Bowling Green, or beyond rather than staying local.

Local vs. Long-Distance Pricing

A standard local crew, usually two movers and a truck, runs $90 to $150 or more per hour combined, with full local jobs totaling anywhere from $335 to $3,000 or more depending on home size. Crossing a state line changes the math: interstate moves are priced by weight and distance instead of the clock, commonly landing between $1,500 and $5,000 or more.

A Cheaper DIY Route

Renting a truck and doing the labor yourself is the cheaper route — local rentals in Kentucky run about $56 to $125 per day, with fuel and mileage on top.

A written, itemized estimate is worth getting before move day, since the total should reflect your home's size and whether you're staying local or heading across a state line.

Comparing a few options side by side, whether local or headed out of state, is the surest way to land a fair price — the listings below are a good place to start.

Households arriving from another state report $49,505 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Kentucky report $44,910. 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 Simpson County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 39% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.

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.
