With a population of about 255,332 and 321 FMCSA-registered household-goods carriers based in and around the city, Chesapeake has a deep moving market for both local and long-distance work.
Local moves inside Chesapeake are quoted by the hour: expect around $135 per hour for two movers and a truck, $180 for three, and $230 for a four-person crew, usually with a two- or three-hour minimum plus a travel fee. 201 of the local carriers hold interstate authority, and 209 report operating beyond 100 miles, so long-distance capacity is plentiful.
Chesapeake is relatively spread out (737 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.
