Local movers around Jennings generally charge $100 to $200 an hour for a two-person crew and truck, with a full local move typically totaling $400 to $1,500 depending on your home's size.

Confirm any Missouri-only mover is registered with the state Department of Transportation, not just a federal DOT number, and insist on a written estimate — a binding quote locks the price, while a non-binding one can legally climb if the job runs long.

Basic liability coverage built into every move is cheap, around 60 cents per pound per item, and pays out very little if something valuable gets dropped or damaged — worth asking about upgraded protection separately.

Older neighborhoods here can mean narrow streets, low branches, or tight apartment stairs, and movers often charge extra for a long carry or a flight of stairs, so describe your layout upfront rather than after the truck shows up.

A legitimate local mover rarely asks for a large cash deposit before the job — a demand for half the total or more upfront is a red flag. Scheduling mid-week, in the middle of the month, tends to avoid the surcharges that hit weekends and month-end moves.

With those rates and red flags in mind, the movers listed below are a reasonable place to start comparing.

Households arriving from another state report $83,849 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Missouri report $62,265. 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 St. Louis County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 18% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.

How much truck space do you need?

I’m moving a that’s .

A moving truck filling up as you change the options
1,150
cubic feet — what a local crew loads
8,050 lb what a long-distance carrier quotes on
26 ft rental truck, if you drive it yourself

Industry rules of thumb — about seven pounds per cubic foot, and published rental-truck capacities. Not our carrier records, not a quote. Bring both numbers to the call and what you get back will finally be comparable.
