Moving Companies in Dickson, TN
Dickson has several local moving companies, and pricing splits by home size more than a single flat hourly rate.
For a one- to two-bedroom home, expect $100 to $180 per hour for a two-mover crew with a truck. Larger three- to four-bedroom homes typically need three to four movers, running $200 to $300 or more per hour. If you'd rather do the lifting yourself, a local truck rental runs $54 to $125 plus fuel. Long-distance moves out of Dickson are priced by weight and distance instead, generally starting around $1,500 and climbing past $5,000 depending on how much you're taking.
Two things worth confirming before you book: how travel time to and from the company's warehouse is billed, and what basic liability actually covers — usually just 60 cents per pound per item, so a $1,000 TV weighing 20 pounds nets only about $12 if it's dropped. Movers are typically tipped $20 to $40 per person in cash.

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 Dickson County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 41% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
