Leaving the state changes the math entirely — long-distance pricing is based on the weight of your load and the mileage, and typically averages $4,600 to $5,500 for a two- to three-bedroom home moving out of Michigan.
Knowing which pricing model applies to your move before you start calling around makes the quotes you get much easier to compare. Ask each company whether their number is a binding estimate or just a rough guess, since a non-binding quote can climb once the crew is already on the clock. That single question does more to protect your budget than shopping on the hourly rate alone, which is what the directory below is for.

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.
