If you already have your own truck or rental container and just need help loading or unloading, labor-only rates fall to around $82 an hour. Get a written estimate based on an actual walkthrough of your home rather than a phone guess, since crew size and truck fees both shift the final number.
Rental truck fees themselves run anywhere from about $20 to $200 for a local job, depending on truck size and how far you are driving it. Whichever route you choose, ask upfront whether the quoted hourly rate already includes a travel or fuel charge, since that fee often gets added separately once the crew arrives at your door.

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 Wayne County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 15% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
