In Palatka, hourly labor runs $116 to $170 for a standard two-person crew, though labor-only help can start around $78 per hour. A studio or one-bedroom move totals $420 to $570, a two-bedroom home runs $900 to $1,000, and a three-bedroom home costs $2,000 to $2,100 or more depending on stairs and packing add-ons. Many local movers start their hourly clock when the truck leaves the warehouse rather than when they arrive, so ask directly when billing begins. A binding estimate, based on a full inventory walk-through, guarantees the price; a non-binding one can climb if the job runs long. Basic valuation coverage pays only $0.60 per pound per item, which will not cover a broken television or heirloom, so ask about full value protection if you own anything valuable. Historic and multi-level homes here often carry extra charges for heavy items or stairs, so disclose these before getting a quote. Rates run highest at the start and end of the month and on weekends; booking mid-month on a Tuesday or Wednesday tends to bring a lower hourly rate and better availability.

Households arriving from another state report $59,049 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Florida report $53,477. 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 Putnam County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 42% 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.
