| Two movers plus truck | $100 - $175/hr |
| One-time travel charge | $50 - $150 |
What Locals Should Know
Ask exactly when billing begins and ends -- some crews start the meter the moment they leave their own shop rather than when they reach your door, and it keeps running until they get back. Rural roads near town can mean a long gravel driveway or a tight turnaround with low branches overhead, so mention that ahead of time in case a smaller vehicle is needed. Wind and heat here can get intense, so keep electronics and important paperwork with you in your own car rather than trusting them to the truck. The liability included in a standard quote is thin, often figured by weight rather than the item's real worth, so ask about upgraded coverage if you own anything expensive or fragile. Skip a verbal quote entirely and get a written estimate that spells out the hourly rate, travel charge, and any fee for stairs or unusually heavy pieces.

Appleton refills from a distance: nearby counties pull households out, and the rest of the country more than replaces them.
Each bar shows that state's in/out split — rows are ranked by total volume.
Households arriving from another state report $72,824 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Colorado report $66,866. 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 Mesa County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 52% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
