The answer? It depends! There are multiple factors playing into the final cost of your home moving bill. Local moves are charged by the hour, so everything related to the time and manpower needed comes into play, such as drive time, the loading and unloading time, and the time it takes them to walk to and from the truck.
Thankfully, there are plenty of ways you can save money on a home move, and we’ve got you covered there.

Having a “day of the move” bag put together can come in handy as you’re transferring your belongings from one home to the next. In addition, pack yourself important items like phone chargers, toiletries, cleaning products, a change of clothes, and water/snacks to keep readily available should you need them.
Clothes can stay in the dresser, but you need to remove all other items. Desks, nightstands, and end tables need to be emptied.
Men on the Move typically will not take the following items:
Hazardous Materials: This includes flammable items, explosives, and toxic substances.
Perishable Food: Food that can spoil, such as fruits, vegetables, and dairy products.
Pets: We will not transport animals, so you will need to make separate arrangements for them.
Valuables and Important Documents: Items like jewelry, cash, and personal documents should be kept with you.
Plants: Due to potential issues with pests and regulations.
Miscellaneous Items: Guns, ammunition, liquor, cleaning supplies, valuables, and important documents (stamp and coin collections, checkbooks, birth certificates…). These items are best transported by you.
