On an hourly move in Fontana, the meter keeps running while the truck sits in Inland Empire traffic or a school-zone backup between your old place and the new one. That transit time is part of your bill, which makes the route and an early-morning start worth discussing with the crew before moving day.

A standard two-mover crew with a truck runs $110 to $180+ per hour. Totals typically come in at $400 - $900 for a studio or one-bedroom, $900 - $2,200 for a 2-3 bedroom home, and $2,200 - $3,500+ for a house with four bedrooms or more. Moves beyond 50 miles are quoted on weight and mileage rather than by the hour.

Two other local factors move the price. Apartment layouts with stairs, long carries, or tight parking trigger access surcharges, so disclose the setup at both addresses when you get the estimate. And dates at the start or end of the month and on weekends carry premium rates, while a mid-week date falling between the 7th and 20th usually prices lower. Included liability pays only $0.60 per pound per item, so a dropped $1,000 television weighing 30 pounds returns $18 unless you add Full Value Protection. Having every box taped and staged near the door before the crew arrives keeps paid hours from going to work you could have finished yourself.

Households arriving from another state report $55,598 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in California report $61,958. 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 San Bernardino County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 11% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.

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.
