With a population of about 938,396 and 854 FMCSA-registered household-goods carriers based in and around the city, Columbus has a deep moving market for both local and long-distance work.
Local moves inside Columbus are quoted by the hour: expect around $125 per hour for two movers and a truck, $170 for three, and $210 for a four-person crew, usually with a two- or three-hour minimum plus a travel fee. 547 of the local carriers hold interstate authority, and 617 report operating beyond 100 miles, so long-distance capacity is plentiful.
At 4,117 people per square mile, Columbus mixes apartment districts with single-family neighborhoods; ask your mover whether stairs, elevators or long carries apply at either address, since those are the most common surcharges here.
