what changes the price
Because we bill by the hour, the price comes down to how long the job takes. The more we know before move day, the more accurate your estimate will be. These are the details worth mentioning when you call:
Stairs and
Multiple Stories
An extra crew member is recommended on all multiple-story moves, which changes the hourly rate.
Square Footage
Homes over 1,700 square feet usually move faster with a third mover on the crew.
Packed or Not Packed
A home that is fully boxed and ready moves much faster than one being packed as we go.
Long Carries
A long walk between the door and the truck adds time to every trip the crew makes.
Oversized Items
Gun safes, pianos, and gym equipment need to be flagged in advance so we bring the right crew and equipment.
Distance and Location
Moves outside the standard OKC metro are billed at $1.75 per mile from our Edmond truck lot.
How to Keep Your Moving Costs Down
Since the clock is what you are paying for, anything that speeds up move day lowers your total. These five make the biggest difference:
1 Declutter First
Donate or sell whatever you will not use before move day.
2 Pack Ahead of Time
A fully boxed home can cut hours off the job.
3 Be Ready for Arrival
Have boxes closed, labeled, and stacked near the door.
4 Break Down Beds Yourself
Disassembled frames and legs load much faster.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do movers cost per hour in Oklahoma City?
Our rate is $160 per hour for two movers or two packers plus a 24-foot moving truck. Each additional mover or packer is $60 per hour. A two-hour minimum applies to all moves.
Do movers charge for drive time?
Our hourly rate starts and stops at your locations, so you are not paying for our drive to you. Many competitors include an hour of drive time inside their two-hour minimum. Local travel is a one-time $75 fee instead.
Is there a minimum charge for a move?
Yes, a two-hour minimum applies to all moves, and those two hours are moving labor rather than drive time. That covers most smaller apartment and studio jobs.
What is the travel fee outside the OKC metro?
Outside our standard operating area, travel is $1.75 per mile, beginning and ending at our truck lot in Edmond. Inside the standard OKC metro it is a flat $75 per truck.
Do I need to pay a deposit to book my move?
A travel fee deposit is required at booking for jobs that start out of town or where additional resources must be reserved. That deposit is non-refundable if changes are made with less than 48 hours notice.
Do you offer any discounts?
Preferred rates are available for military, first responders, and teachers. Mention it when you call and we will apply it to your estimate.
What happens if my move takes two days?
Your items can stay loaded on the truck overnight for a $300 storage fee per truck, with $200 for each additional night. That fee also applies if unloading begins after 12 p.m. the next day.
