How Much Do Movers Cost in Durham, NC?
Local moves in Durham cost $700 to $2,000 depending on home size, with a two-person crew and truck starting at $150 to $200 per hour. Truckin' Movers started right here in Durham in 1976, and we've never left. We know the tight turns on Watts Street, the loading dock situation at American Tobacco, and exactly how long it takes to get a full-size sofa up three flights in a Ninth Street walkup. We've moved families out of Hope Valley ranch houses and into downtown lofts. We've emptied labs in RTP and set up offices on Blackwell Street. After 49 years and more than 20,000 moves, Durham is still where we do our best work.
Our office is right here in Durham County. When you call, you're talking to people who live and work in the Triangle, not a call center in another state. That matters when you need someone who actually knows the difference between Duke Forest and Forest Hills, or can tell you that the freight elevator at your Brightleaf Square building maxes out at 3,000 pounds.
Every Kind of Move in the Bull City
We handle every kind of move that comes through the Bull City. Here's what that looks like:
- Residential Moves: Houses, apartments, condos, townhomes. A local Durham move or a cross-country haul. We do both, and we do them well.
- Commercial Moves: Office relocations, lab equipment, retail buildouts. Durham businesses call us because we move fast and stay out of the way of your operations.
- Specialty Moves: Pianos, antiques, artwork, server racks. If it's heavy, fragile, or expensive, 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 the whole time.
Reliable Moving to Durham from Out of State
People keep moving here, and we get it. Durham's got good jobs, good food, and neighborhoods that actually feel like neighborhoods. Our long-distance moving services bring families in from New York, DC, Atlanta, Chicago, the Bay Area, and everywhere in between. We give you an exact delivery date, not a window, so you're not sleeping on the floor wondering where your stuff is.
We know what newcomers run into. Street parking in Old West Durham fills up fast. Some of the older homes near Duke have doorways that need creative furniture work. And if you're moving into one of the new builds off Fayetteville Street or near South Square, we've already figured out which elevators fit what. That kind of knowledge only comes from doing the work, year after year, in the same city.
Why Durham Residents Trust Truckin' Movers
We've been here since before the Durham Bulls got their own ballpark, before American Tobacco became a campus, before anyone called this place "Durm." Our crew members aren't temps from a staffing app. They're career movers with over a decade of experience on average. They know how to protect hardwood floors in Watts-Hillandale, how to navigate the parking constraints at NCCU and Duke campus housing, and how to get a gun safe down a gravel driveway in Bahama without tearing anything up.
Moving is hard. We don't pretend it isn't. But 49 years of doing this in our own hometown means we've seen just about everything. We show up on the day we said we would, we handle your stuff with care, and we get it done. That's the job.
