Chapel Hill Moving Company Since 1976

Truckin' Movers has served Chapel Hill and the surrounding Orange County since 1976. Local moves, long-distance, interstate. Our crews have been doing this for over a decade on average.

How Much Do Movers Cost in Chapel Hill, NC?

Local moves in Chapel Hill cost $400 to $1,500. A two-person crew with a truck runs $150 to $200 per hour, with three-person crews at $200 to $275. Chapel Hill is a college town with real moving challenges, and Truckin' Movers has been handling them since 1976. The parking nightmare near Franklin Street. The elevator situation at the high-rise apartments on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. The long gravel driveways in the rural sections off 15-501. We've moved faculty into Governors Club and grad students out of Rosemary Street walkups. After 49 years and more than 20,000 moves, Chapel Hill is second nature to us.

Our office is in Durham, about 15 minutes east on 15-501. When you call, you talk to Triangle locals who know the difference between Meadowmont and Morgan Creek. We'll walk through your move, give you a real number, and show up on the day we said we would.

Every Kind of Move in Chapel Hill

We handle the full range of Chapel Hill moves:

  • Residential Moves: Houses, apartments, condos, townhomes. A local Chapel Hill move or a cross-country haul. We handle both.
  • Commercial Moves: Office relocations, lab moves, academic department transitions. Chapel Hill businesses and UNC departments trust us to move fast and protect sensitive equipment.
  • Specialty Moves: Pianos, antiques, artwork, research equipment. If it's heavy, fragile, or irreplaceable, our specialty crew has moved something like it before.
  • Storage: Climate-controlled, secure, and flexible. Store for a week or a year. Your container stays sealed.

Moving to Chapel Hill from Out of State

Chapel Hill keeps drawing people from all over the country. UNC faculty, hospital staff, families who want great schools and a town that still feels like a town. Our long-distance moving services bring families in from New York, DC, Boston, the Bay Area, and everywhere in between. We give you an exact delivery date, not a window.

Here's what newcomers should know about moving day in Chapel Hill. Street parking near campus is almost nonexistent. Some of the older homes along Gimghoul Road and Country Club Road have narrow driveways with overhanging oaks. The newer communities like Briar Chapel and Meadowmont are easier to navigate, but they have HOA rules about move-in times and common area use. We plan for all of it before we show up.

Why Chapel Hill Families Trust Truckin' Movers

Our crew members are career movers who average over a decade with us. They know how to protect heart pine floors in a 1940s Greenwood home, how to fit a king bed frame through a tight Rosemary Street apartment door, and how to time a move to avoid the worst of Franklin Street traffic. Moving is hard. We've been doing this for 49 years, and we've learned how to take the edge off. We show up prepared, handle your stuff like it matters, and get the job done on schedule.
