The Cost of Hiring Movers in Polk, OR

On average, it costs $380.68 to hire moving helpers in Polk, OR. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Polk, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $83.73.

These average costs reflect “labor-only” moves—where you hire movers to load or unload your rental truck, shipping container (like a PODS container), or storage unit. It’s one of the most cost-effective ways to move and is often far more affordable than hiring a full-service moving company—more on that below.

The Cost of Full-Service Moving

The average cost of a local full-service move in Polk, OR is $918.43, with an average hourly rate of $126.55. Full-service moves do cost more, but they come with serious convenience—you won’t need to rent a truck, drive it, or coordinate a shipping container.

Prefer the all-in-one, hands-off experience? Full-service might be your move. Here’s how it compares to labor-only options.

The movers were on time as scheduled. The company reached out the day of the move to verify the time and address that we had scheduled. The unloaders were polite, professional, friendly and fast. Our property was treated with care and respect. I would definitely recommend this company.
