Moving Companies in Meridian, ID
Meridian moves are priced two ways: local jobs billed hourly, long-distance moves priced by weight and mileage.
Local hourly rates run $80 to $150 per hour for a two- to three-person crew and truck, with total local costs spanning $387 to $3,540 depending on home size and how much furniture you have.
A few things to watch for: some companies start billing when the truck leaves their warehouse rather than when it arrives at your door, so ask how travel time is calculated. Standard liability coverage is thin — just $0.60 per pound per item, meaning a 30-pound, $1,000 TV is covered for only $18 if it's dropped. Movers also can't legally haul certain items, such as propane, paint, aerosols, or houseplants, so plan to move those yourself. Long staircases or narrow subdivision streets that keep the truck far from the door can also trigger long-carry surcharges. Booking mid-week and mid-month, rather than late spring through summer, tends to bring lower rates too.

Meridian refills from a distance: nearby counties pull households out, and the rest of the country more than replaces them.
Each bar shows that state's in/out split — rows are ranked by total volume.
Households arriving from another state report $92,984 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Idaho report $58,798. Long-distance arrivals are the higher-budget half of the market.
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 Ada County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 24% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
