Moving Companies in Arlington, TN
Moving Costs in Arlington, TN
Local movers in Arlington bill mostly by the hour, so labor time drives your final price. A standard two-person crew runs $85 to $110 per hour, and labor-only help—loading or unloading a truck you already rented—averages roughly $84 per hour, with full jobs generally totaling $340 to $720.
A studio or one-bedroom home usually costs $380 to $950 total, covering about 2.5 to 4.5 hours of work. A three-bedroom home typically runs $425 to $770 or more, depending on how much you own, whether there are stairs, and how long loading and unloading takes.
Most companies also charge a separate travel fee, often $120 to $300, to cover the crew's trip to your old address and back from the new one. Ask whether that fee is flat or tied to distance, and confirm the crew size quoted, since a larger crew costs more per hour but can finish a bigger home faster. Beyond the hourly rate, a few things push the total higher: multiple flights of stairs, a long walk from the door to the truck, and any request for full packing service. Getting a clear home-size estimate before booking, rather than a rough phone guess, keeps you closer to the low end of these ranges.

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 Shelby County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 27% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
