Labor-only vs. full-service in Meraux
Moves in St. Bernard Parish price out differently depending on whether you need just muscle or a full crew and truck.
| Option | Typical cost |
|---|---|
| Labor-only, load/unload | $83-$142/hr, $335-$700 total |
| Full-service crew + truck | $590-$4,700+ total |
Full-service pricing depends heavily on home size, from a small studio at the low end to a four-bedroom house at the top.
Extras to plan for
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Minimum booking | 2 hours, most companies |
| Added charges | Travel and fuel fees on top of the hourly rate |
That two-hour minimum applies even to very small jobs, so a single-item pickup still gets billed for the full window — confirming it upfront, along with any travel fee, prevents a surprise on the final invoice. Home size and how much labor you actually need decide which option makes sense: a light, mostly-boxed apartment often works fine with labor-only help, while a heavier, multi-room house tends to favor the full-service route despite the higher price.

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 St. Bernard Parish 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.
