Moving Companies in Ooltewah, TN
Ooltewah sits close enough to Chattanooga that you have access to several regional moving companies, most of which bill by the hour for local jobs.
Expect to pay $90 to $150 per hour for a two- to three-person crew with a truck. The statewide average runs around $124 an hour, though smaller local operations sometimes charge closer to $95 to $100 for basic labor. By home size, a studio or one-bedroom typically runs $350 to $700 over two to three hours, a two- to three-bedroom home $800 to $1,800 over four to seven hours, and a larger four-bedroom-plus home $2,000 to $3,800 or more for a full day or multi-crew job.
A few things to confirm before booking: ask for a binding, not-to-exceed estimate so the price can't climb on moving day, and clarify how travel time from a Chattanooga dispatch office is billed. Movers are usually tipped in cash, around $4 to $5 per person per hour, or roughly 15% to 20% of the total split among the crew.

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 Hamilton County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 38% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
