Moving in The Dalles means weighing cost against Oregon's regulated intrastate rates. Expect roughly $40 to $80 per mover per hour, which typically totals $1,000 to $1,800 for a standard two-bedroom home.

If you already have a truck or a rented container and just need labor to load and unload, rates run lower — about $50 to $60 per mover per hour, with a small crew typically landing between $450 and $600 for the job. Moving across state lines, into Washington or further out, prices scale by weight and mileage and typically land between $2,000 and $7,000 or more.

Ask how many movers are included in the quoted hourly rate, since a two-person crew at the higher end can still cost less overall than a lower rate spread across four people. Confirm whether the number is a binding estimate or one that can shift once the truck is loaded and weighed.

Households arriving from another state report $64,586 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Oregon report $69,878. Long-distance arrivals are the higher-budget half of the market.

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 Wasco County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 53% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.

How much truck space do you need?

cubic feet — what a local crew loads
8,050 lb what a long-distance carrier quotes on
26 ft rental truck, if you drive it yourself

Industry rules of thumb — about seven pounds per cubic foot, and published rental-truck capacities. Not our carrier records, not a quote. Bring both numbers to the call and what you get back will finally be comparable.
