Durham's Moving Company Since 1976

Our average crew member has been with us for more than a decade. We give you exact moving dates, not windows. And with our containerized system, your belongings get loaded once and stay in the same container until they're in your new home.

Why Durham Hires Truckin' Movers
Anything, Anywhere
Across Durham, across the country, or overseas. Packing, crating, moving, storage, and unpacking. One company and one call for the whole job.
Career Employees
Our average mover has been with us over ten years. That's not a typo. The crew at your door has done this thousands of times.
Exact Moving Dates
A specific pickup date and a specific delivery date, anywhere in the 48 states. No "sometime between Tuesday and Friday."
One Touch Handling
Your belongings get loaded into a container once and unloaded once, even when storage is involved. Less handling means less risk.
What Movers Cost in Durham, NC
Local moves bill by the hour. Two movers and a truck run $165 to $195 per hour. Three movers run $215 to $245. Four run $265 to $295. Rates sit at the low end in winter and the high end in summer. There's a 3 to 4 hour minimum and a travel fee for the drive from our shop and back. That's it. We don't charge a stair fee, a long-carry fee, or a fuel surcharge. Stairs take more time, and time is what you pay for.
Here's what a local Durham move usually totals, by home size:
| Home size | Typical local total |
|---|---|
| Studio or 1 bedroom | $700 – $1,200 |
| 2 bedrooms | $1,000 – $2,000 |
| 3 bedrooms | $1,800 – $3,500 |
| 4+ bedrooms | $3,000 – $6,000+ |
Your number depends on how much you own and how hard it is to get to the truck. We'll work it out on a video call and send you a written estimate. For a small job, a phone call usually does it. Every rate we charge is published in our moving cost and pricing guide.
Moving Services in Durham and Beyond

A Durham Moving Company, Not a Franchise
Our office and trucks are at 1031 Harvest Road in Durham. When you call (919) 682-2300, you get someone who lives and works here, not a call center in another state. The person who does your estimate stays your contact through delivery day.
We didn't start as a national brand. We started by fighting them. The ICC investigated us, the IRS audited us, and Allied, Global, and Wheaton sued us. In 1982, after a nine-month legal battle in Washington, the ICC granted us a license to operate in all 48 contiguous states and set our own rates. The full story is on our About page.
Since then we've moved the U.S. headquarters of CBC America from Long Island to central North Carolina. That job took two weeks and 118 tractor trailer loads. We've also shipped a tortilla plant to Brazil. Most days, though, it's a family going from one Durham house to another, and the crew carrying the couch has been with us over a decade.
Durham has noticed. We hold a 4.9 rating across 290+ Google reviews, an A+ from the BBB, the 2025 BBB Consumer Choice Award, and the 2026 BBB Torch Award for Ethics.
