Oakland movers charge by the hour. Rates run $120 to $160 per hour for a two- to three-person crew and a truck. A studio or one-bedroom averages $450 to $650, about three to four hours. A two- to three-bedroom home averages $800 to $1,300, about five to seven hours. A four-bedroom-plus home runs $1,500 to $2,500 or more.

I had an amazing experience with the crew of Flat Fee Moving. They were on time, fast and very efficient. Even though I was not 100% ready they didn’t judge and I called them back to help me move the rest of the boxes I didn’t pack on time! Amazing experience!

47,542 households moved in or out · #72 busiest moving market in the U.S.
What kind of mover will you need?
Moving in
22,624 households arrived
75% under 50 mi 7% 50–250 mi 8% over 250 mi 10% not attributed

53% arrived from another state. Long-haul moves need a carrier with active interstate operating authority — plenty of local companies don't hold one.

55% under 50 mi 14% 50–250 mi 19% over 250 mi 12% not attributed

55% of departures stayed under 50 miles. Short local moves are usually priced by the hour, so a regional company is often the cheaper call.

Households arriving from another state report $127,694 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in New Jersey report $100,808. 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 Bergen County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 11% 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.
