Moving Costs in Newport, TN
Newport and the surrounding Cocke County area are mostly served by regional movers based out of Sevierville, Knoxville, or Morristown. Local jobs under about 100 miles are billed hourly based on crew size.
A standard two-mover crew and truck runs $100 to $150 per hour. If you have a three-plus-bedroom home or heavy items like a piano or large safe, a bigger three- to four-mover crew is usually recommended, running $150 to $220 or more per hour.
Two things quietly add to nearly every local quote: a travel or double-drive-time fee to cover the crew's trip from their base to your home and back, and a two- to three-hour minimum charge that applies even if your apartment only takes an hour to load. Ask both questions before you book so the number you agree to matches what actually shows up on the invoice. A heavy item like a piano or large safe, or several flights of stairs, can also nudge the hourly rate toward the higher end of these ranges.
Sharing your zip codes, home size, and any bulky items with the movers listed below is the fastest way to get a number you can actually compare.

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 Cocke County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 55% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
