| 3-Mover Crew | $150 - $200 per hour |
| Statewide Average (2-3 Movers) | $140 - $160 per hour |
Those hourly rates add up differently depending on how big the job is, so it helps to see the total range before you call anyone for a quote.
| Item | Range |
|---|---|
| Typical Local Total | $500 - $2,000+ |
| Full Louisiana Range | $546 - $4,882 |
| Basic Liability Coverage | $0.60 per pound, per item |
Fees that catch people off guard
The hourly clock for most local jobs begins the moment the crew pulls out of their warehouse, not when they knock on your door, so a drive from Lafayette to Scott often adds a billed travel hour. Most companies also enforce a two-to-three-hour minimum charge no matter how fast the job actually goes. Stairs, long carries to the truck, and oversized or specialty items like pianos can trigger extra charges too, and the coverage listed above is the free default, not full replacement value, so ask about upgraded protection if your belongings are worth more than that per-pound math suggests.

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 Lafayette Parish rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 27% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
