A full local move usually lands between $634 and $4,193, depending on home size, while labor-only help for loading or unloading a rental truck can start around $80 per hour.

Ask a few questions before you sign anything. Most companies add a separate travel or fuel surcharge to cover driving from their base to your home, so confirm whether that is a flat fee or billed hourly. Basic liability coverage included by default only pays $0.60 per pound per item — a 20-pound television worth $1,000 would net just $12 if it broke — so ask about full value protection for anything valuable. Wisconsin law bars movers from hauling propane tanks, house plants, chemicals, paint, aerosols, and open alcohol; plan to move those yourself. Cash tips of $4 to $5 per mover per hour are standard. Because Beaver Dam has narrow residential streets, clear parking for a 26-foot truck ahead of time to avoid delays.

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 Dodge County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 29% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
