If you only need help loading or unloading a truck you rented yourself, labor-only crews in Lake Orion run between $342.09 and $711.82 for the job. Confirm which category your quote falls into before comparing numbers, since a labor-only price and a full-service price aren't measuring the same thing. A larger crew moves faster but costs more per hour, so a bigger home isn't always proportionally more expensive once you factor in the shorter job time.
When you're ready to request quotes, have your bedroom count, distance, and whether you need packing help ready — it's the fastest way to get an apples-to-apples comparison from the companies you contact. Tipping isn't required, but it's a common way to thank a crew that handled a long day of heavy lifting well.

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 Oakland 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.
