Elizabethton moving costs
Local pricing here splits into two categories: hiring labor alone, or a full crew with a truck.
| Home Size | Typical Total Cost |
|---|---|
| Studio / 1 bedroom | $400 to $1,100 |
| 2 to 3 bedrooms | $1,100 to $2,000 |
| 4 to 5+ bedrooms | $2,100 to $3,500+ |
| Labor-only (loading/unloading) | $340 to $720 |
Full-service crews generally charge $100 to $150 an hour for a two-person team and truck; labor-only help runs $40 to $80 an hour per mover if you already have a truck or container.
A few things to check before booking. Confirm whether the hourly clock starts when the truck leaves its base — a hyper-local company usually costs less on travel time than one driving in from Johnson City or Kingsport. Mention stairs, steep driveways, or heavy items like a piano upfront, since surcharges for these tend to appear on-site otherwise. Basic required coverage is minimal too, often just 60 cents per pound per item, so ask about fuller protection for anything valuable. Tipping is customary, generally 5 to 20 percent of the total bill or a flat $20 to $50 per mover.
Compare a few options in the mover directory below before deciding.

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 Carter 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.
