Local Michigan moves typically cost $550 to $4,620 in total, with an average hourly rate of $139 per mover. Almost every local Plymouth and Metro Detroit company enforces a two-hour minimum, so even a 45-minute studio move gets billed as two full hours plus travel time. In Plymouth specifically, small labor-only jobs run $338.34 to $660.32.
Ask how many hours of drive time get added for the truck to reach your address from its home base and return afterward — Michigan rules allow movers to bill for that travel window. If you're moving in or out of downtown Plymouth near Old Village or Kellogg Park, check with the city ahead of time about street parking for a full-size moving truck, since space there is tight.
Basic liability coverage is included for free but pays only 60 cents per pound per item — a 30-pound TV worth $2,000 would only get you $18 if it's damaged, so ask about upgrading to full-value protection. Crews typically expect a cash tip of $20 to $50 per mover depending on the size and difficulty of the job.

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.
