Moving Costs in Pocatello, ID
Local movers here typically charge $153 per hour for a two-person crew and truck, with quotes ranging from $117 to $190 per hour. A full local move runs $3,126 to $4,429 for a one-bedroom, $3,293 to $5,069 for two bedrooms, and $3,693 to $5,697 for three bedrooms.
Renting your own truck and hiring hourly help just for loading and unloading is the cheaper route if cutting the total bill matters most.
Ways to Keep the Price Down
- Ask exactly when the clock starts and stops — many crews bill travel time from their shop and back, so a short move can end up costing more hours than expected.
- Clear driveways and stairs before a winter move; ice and snow slow crews down and can add charges.
- Confirm stair or heavy-item fees in advance rather than on move day.
- Get a binding written estimate instead of a verbal quote, so the price can't climb once the job starts.
Standard liability coverage is thin — about $0.60 per pound per item, so a 20-pound television worth $1,000 would only be covered for $12 if it broke. Ask about full-value protection if you own pricier electronics.

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 Bannock County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 49% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
