Pricing choices for a Franconia move
Franconia, Pennsylvania (18924) moves split into two pricing models. Local moves under 100 miles tend to bill hourly, while long-distance jobs are priced by weight, volume, and mileage. Crew size is another lever: the standard is a two-to-three mover team with a truck, shown in the table below.
Hourly vs. flat and binding terms
For local jobs, decide between hourly billing and a flat binding total tied to the items you list. Ask whether an estimate is binding or non-binding. A binding quote locks the total; a non-binding quote is only an approximation and can rise if the job takes longer or weighs more. A binding-not-to-exceed figure is the safest target.
Access fees and valuation
Disclose stairs and parking limits before booking. Many local operations add stair or long-carry charges when crews must climb multiple flights or cannot get the truck close to the door. Standard carrier liability is minimal, so full-value protection or separate insurance can prevent a low payout on damaged items. Movers usually will not accept cash, jewelry, legal documents, medications, or perishable food; keep those with you.
| Cost item | Typical figure |
|---|---|
| Local hourly rate (2–3 movers + truck) | $110–$130/hour |
| Local total cost | $500–$2,500+ |
| Long-distance total | $2,500–$5,000+ |
| Basic carrier liability | $0.60/lb per item |
| Tipping | $4–$6/mover/hr or $20–$50 flat |

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 Montgomery County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 14% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
