Key Differences to Consider
- Hourly vs. Total Cost: While a 3-person crew costs more per hour, they work significantly faster. For medium-to-large homes (2+ bedrooms), a 3-person crew often finishes the job fast enough that the total final bill is comparable to or even less than a slower 2-person crew.
- Minimum Charges: Most local movers in North Carolina enforce a 2- to 3-hour minimum, meaning you will pay for those baseline hours regardless of how quickly the truck is unloaded.
- Additional Fees: Ensure your hourly quote clarifies whether it includes the truck, mileage, fuel surcharges, or heavy item fees (like pianos or large safes).

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 Iredell County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 39% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
