Moving Costs in Morgantown
West Virginia's local moving crews charge by the hour, and Morgantown pricing tracks the statewide pattern fairly closely — plan around $135 per hour for a standard crew and truck.
Total cost for a local move typically lands between $700 and $4,500, with the spread driven almost entirely by how much you own and how many hours the crew needs to load, drive and unload. A one-bedroom apartment sits at the low end; a full house with several rooms of furniture pushes toward the higher figure.
Some local companies handle only labor — loading or unloading a truck or storage container you've already rented — while others run full-service crews that also pack, drive and handle long-distance moves. Ask each company which category it falls into, since labor-only work is usually the cheaper option if you're comfortable driving the truck yourself.
Before booking, get more than one quote, confirm whether the estimate is binding, and ask whether travel time between the company's base and your address is billed separately from the hourly rate. A binding estimate is worth insisting on either way, since it's the only way to know your final number before moving day.

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 Monongalia County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 57% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
