Local crews here typically charge $100 to $108 an hour for a two- to three-person team and a truck. A studio or one-bedroom move usually runs $350 to $600 over a few hours, while a two- or three-bedroom home can climb to $1,100 to $2,000 or more depending on stairs, heavy items, and packing needs.

- Many movers bill travel time from the moment they leave their depot, not when they start lifting boxes — ask before booking.
- Winter driveways here can be icy, and inclement-weather delays sometimes carry an extra charge.
- Basic carrier liability pays only $0.60 per pound per item, so a broken 30-pound, $1,000 television is reimbursed at just $18.
- Movers legally can't transport items like propane tanks, aerosols, or firearms — check before packing them into the truck.
- Cash tips of roughly $4 to $5 per mover per hour, or $20 to $40 flat per mover on a half or full day, are standard.

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 Kootenai County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 38% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
