What a Move Costs
Full-service local moves in West Virginia typically land between $720 and $4,622, depending on home size and how many labor hours the job takes. Average hourly labor runs around $133, though a two-person crew can charge $150 to $250 an hour. Renting a truck and doing it yourself instead runs $59 to $139 for a short local trip, plus fuel.
Details Worth Asking About
- Find out if the hourly clock starts when the truck leaves the company's lot or when it reaches your door — travel time to Nitro is sometimes billed separately.
- Pianos, gun safes, hot tubs, and other bulky items are often left out of a standard hourly quote, so flag them before the crew shows up.
- A binding, not-to-exceed estimate protects you; a non-binding one can legally grow if the job runs long.
- Basic coverage is thin — roughly 60 cents per pound per item, so a 30-pound television worth $1,000 would only be reimbursed $18 if it breaks.
- Tipping is optional but common: figure on $4 to $6 an hour for each mover, or a flat $20 to $50 per person for a typical 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 Kanawha County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 50% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
