Moving Companies in Lewiston, ID
Full-Service vs. Labor-Only in Lewiston, ID
Idaho's statewide average hourly rate per mover is around $108, and most local companies require a 2-hour minimum. Hiring labor only — to load or unload a truck or container you've rented — typically runs $340 to $710 total, or roughly $85 to $90 an hour. A full local household move, truck and crew included, generally spans $400 to $2,000 or more depending on home size and how many heavy items you have.
Local Factors That Affect Price
Moving between the Orchards and downtown crosses a steep grade that adds real transit time, so don't expect a short-distance discount if the route includes that hill. Summer books up fast, and a mid-month, Tuesday-or-Wednesday date is often easier to schedule and sometimes cheaper.
Even a 45-minute job gets billed for the full 2-hour minimum, so consolidate small tasks — like reassembling furniture — into that window. Ask upfront about stair fees, long-carry charges, and surcharges for heavy items such as pianos or safes. Standard tipping runs $4 to $5 per mover per hour, or 15% to 20% of the total split among 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 Nez Perce County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 42% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
