Moving Companies in Rochester, MA
Use the listings underneath to vet crews that already reach Rochester. This Plymouth County town is small, so most trucks start from New Bedford or Westport.
Each card carries licence status, an insurance badge, and a review count. A valid licence means the operator may work Massachusetts jobs. The badge points to coverage if items are damaged. Treat review count as a check on whether a score is well sampled. Closer yards matter because hourly time can include the drive from garage to garage.
Local hourly rates
Massachusetts local moves are typically hourly. In 2026, two movers and a truck cost $100 - $130 per hour, three cost $140 - $180 per hour, and four cost $180 - $230 per hour. Licensed companies nearly always impose a 2-to-3-hour minimum.
Statewide prices generally land between $561 and $3,534, based on home size, labor hours, and extras. Separate local totals often run $550 to $3,500.
Before you book
- Clarify travel and fuel: some bills start when the truck leaves the yard and keep going until it returns.
- Get a written binding or not-to-exceed price from a house visit or video survey, not a casual phone figure.
- Mention pianos, large safes, hot tubs, or slate pool tables before the quote; they often bring specialty fees.
- Tips are optional. Going rates are $4 to $6 for each mover for every hour, or 15% - 20% of the bill split across 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 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.
