Moving Costs in Jonesborough, TN

In the East Tennessee/Tri-Cities area, a standard two- to three-person crew plus truck runs about $120 to $200 or more per hour total, or roughly $90 to $150-plus per hour per mover. A studio or one-bedroom move typically totals $300 to $600.

A two- to three-bedroom home generally runs $700 to $1,600, depending on volume and stairs, while a larger four-plus-bedroom home can reach $1,500 to $3,500 or more. Specialty items like a piano or large safe often carry their own flat surcharge, typically $150 to $400, on top of the hourly rate.

Basic liability coverage included by movers is thin — often just $0.60 per pound per item, so a 20-pound television worth $1,000 would only be covered for about $12 if it breaks. Jonesborough's historic streets and tight driveways can also mean a smaller shuttle truck is needed, so mention any narrow access points when you book.

Tipping is customary too: figure on $20 to $40 per mover for a half-day move, or $50 to $80 per mover for a longer, full-day job.

Households arriving from another state report $77,240 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Tennessee report $51,314. Long-distance arrivals are the higher-budget half of the market.

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 Washington County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 46% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.

How much truck space do you need?

I’m moving a that’s .

A moving truck filling up as you change the options
1,150
cubic feet — what a local crew loads
8,050 lb what a long-distance carrier quotes on
26 ft rental truck, if you drive it yourself

Industry rules of thumb — about seven pounds per cubic foot, and published rental-truck capacities. Not our carrier records, not a quote. Bring both numbers to the call and what you get back will finally be comparable.
