Moving Companies in Waltham, MA
Moving in and around Waltham, Massachusetts involves an hourly rate plus truck fee rather than a flat charge. This billing approach applies to all local moves in the greater Boston area including Waltham. The standard setup includes a three-hour minimum that crews must be paid for no matter the duration of the actual work.
Two movers and one truck cost $100 to $200 per hour while three movers and one truck cost $140 to $230 per hour. Each added mover adds roughly $50 per hour. Most basic local moves end up totaling $500 to $1,200 for the labor portion depending on the size of the home and volume of goods.
Packing your items is often done at the same hourly rate and typically adds $300 to $500 for a one-bedroom apartment. Scheduling ahead four to six weeks helps ensure availability of desired crew sizes and dates. Actual charges can also be affected by the distance involved and the ease of access to the destination property.

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 Middlesex County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 9% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
