Cost Traps to Know in McDonald, PA
Local moves are billed by the hour, and a 2–3-member crew with a truck generally runs $100 to $160 per hour; the statewide average is about $128 per hour. Ask whether travel time is on the clock—a crew based 45 minutes away can add 1.5 paid hours before loading begins.
Estimates and Access
Non-binding estimates can increase 10% to 25% at delivery, so insist on a binding or not-to-exceed quote. Tight driveways, gravel lanes, stairs without an elevator, or a 26-foot truck that cannot fit near McDonald may trigger a shuttle fee; disclose the layout before booking.
Liability Gaps
Basic carrier liability pays only $0.60 per pound per article—$18 for a 30-pound television. Ask about Full Value Protection or confirm your own insurance covers the move.
Timing Multipliers
Summer, month-end, and weekend moves can run 20% to 40% higher; mid-week and mid-month dates usually avoid that premium.
Typical local totals: $300 to $600 for a studio or one-bedroom (2–4 hours), $900 to $1,800 for a 2–3 bedroom home (6–10 hours), and $2,000 to $3,500+ for 4+ bedrooms. Long-distance moves over 100 miles are generally priced from $1,000 to $5,000+.

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 Washington County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 36% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
