I know it probably varies by location, but in general, how much? We are only moving about 3 miles from where we are now. Also, I promise I won't ask if we tip the movers, lol!
We moved a mile away last year and the charge for local moves was $120/hr plus a $60 flat travel fee. The company we used was a good bargain and, I gather, charge under market rate.
$75/hour for 3 guys and a truck in a L-MCOL area. I'm pretty sure I ended up tipping them way more than they usually get because he asked me if I wrote the correct amount. But it was hot and they were so fast and efficient. I can't remember if I tipped $50 or $75 per guy, but it was still totally worth it.
