With a population of about 194,144 and 241 FMCSA-registered household-goods carriers based in and around the city, Chattanooga has a well-developed moving market for both local and long-distance work.
Local moves inside Chattanooga 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. 155 of the local carriers hold interstate authority, and 171 report operating beyond 100 miles, so long-distance capacity is plentiful.
Chattanooga is relatively spread out (1,272 people per square mile), so trucks can usually park close to the door and hourly moves tend to run at the lower end of the time ranges below.
