How long your move takes is what decides the bill in Hightstown, since crews here charge by the hour rather than a flat fee.

A standard local crew of two to three movers plus a truck runs $100 to $180 or more per hour. If you already have a truck or container and just need loading help, labor-only crews run about $79 per hour per worker, with full jobs typically landing between $320 and $720.

Home size decides how many hours you'll need: a studio or one-bedroom generally totals $550 to $800, while a two- to three-bedroom home runs $1,100 to $2,000 or more. What stretches the clock, and the bill, is what you're moving rather than the calendar -- flights of stairs, a long walk from the door to the truck, heavy specialty items like a piano or safe, and any packing add-ons all add hours a flat quote wouldn't show.

Knowing roughly how many hours your home needs makes the numbers below much easier to judge.

Households arriving from another state report $99,754 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in New Jersey report $98,081. 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 Mercer County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 22% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.

How much truck space do you need?

I’m moving a that’s .

A moving truck filling up as you change the options
1,150
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.
