Moving Companies in Jonesboro, AR
Local moves here typically run on a two-person crew billed at $130 to $200 or more an hour. Rough totals: a studio or one-bedroom usually costs $150 to $370, a two-bedroom $430 to $660, a three-to-four bedroom home $1,075 to $1,915, and a five-bedroom-plus house $1,950 to $3,000 or more. If you only need loading or unloading labor for a truck you're driving yourself, hourly rates start around $160.
Ask exactly when the hourly clock starts — many movers begin billing from the moment the truck leaves their base rather than when it arrives at your door, and a separate fuel or travel surcharge is common on top of that. Most companies also enforce a two- or three-hour minimum, so having everything packed and disassembled before the crew shows up helps you get real value out of that block.
Standard liability coverage is thin — a broken 30-pound television worth $1,000 would net you only about $18 — so ask about full value protection for anything pricier. Booking a few weeks ahead of peak season, especially around university move-in and move-out dates, keeps your options open.

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 Craighead County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 39% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
