Paying Less for Local Moves in Merrimac
Local jobs in Massachusetts or nearby southern New Hampshire typically bill by the hour plus a truck or travel fee. 2026 rates appear in the table, and the lower end of each range is possible when the crew matches the home and extras stay off the invoice.
| CREW AND TRUCK | HOURLY RATE | TYPICAL HOME |
|---|---|---|
| 2 movers and 1 truck | $100 – $130 per hour | 1-bedroom apartment or small studio |
| 3 movers and 1 truck | $140 – $180 per hour | 2-to-3-bedroom home or apartment |
| 4 movers and 1 truck | $180 – $230 per hour | large 4+ bedroom houses |
Nearly every mover sets a 2-to-3-hour minimum, so a job that takes only 1.5 hours still bills the full block.
Charges That Increase the Total
Travel or fuel surcharges commonly add a flat hour of travel time or a mileage fee. Heavy items such as a piano, a safe or large gym equipment bring extra fees. Stair or long-carry charges apply when the home has multiple flights of stairs, a long carry or narrow streets. Greater distance also raises what you pay.
Reaching the bottom of each hourly range usually requires picking the smallest crew that still finishes the work quickly and arranging easy access so add-on fees never appear.

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 Essex County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 16% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
