Hourly Versus Labor-Only Choices for Hanover Moves
Readers planning a move in Hanover must decide between an hourly crew that includes the truck and a labor-only arrangement. Local jobs inside Massachusetts or around Plymouth County follow the hourly model in most cases. The 2026 rates for a complete team plus truck appear in the table that follows, letting you weigh two movers against three or four according to home size.
| Crew | Hourly Rate | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| 2 movers plus truck | $100 - $130 | studios and one-bedroom apartments |
| 3 movers plus truck | $140 - $180 | two- and three-bedroom homes |
| 4 movers plus truck | $180 - $230 | four-bedroom and larger houses |
Two movers suit compact apartments while three handle standard homes more quickly at the higher rate. Four become necessary only for the largest properties.
Labor-only service, used when the truck is already rented, averages $79 per mover per hour and produces a typical Hanover total of $495.80. That total reflects a 2-3 bedroom relocation weighing about 7,500 pounds.
A one-bedroom local relocation typically falls between $500 and $1,100. Two- or three-bedroom jobs range from $1,100 to $3,000+ when extra volume or stairs are involved.
Crews serving Hanover can refine these figures after an on-site look at stairs and volume. Review the options below to select a fit.

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 Plymouth County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 18% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
