Moving Companies in Canton, MS
Start by looking through the movers listed on this page, then check their pricing against the numbers below. Mississippi movers average about $105 an hour for a full crew, or $75 to $80 an hour if you only need labor to load or unload a truck you already rented. Most companies enforce a 2-hour minimum on local jobs, so even a quick job carries that baseline charge.
Typical costs by home size
- Studio apartment: $430 to $450 with 2 movers
- 1-bedroom home: $550 to $600 with 2 movers
- 2-bedroom home: $850 to $950 with 3 movers
- 3-bedroom home: $1,900 to $2,100 with 4 movers
Moving out of state changes the math entirely: long-distance jobs typically run $1,446 to $8,500 or more depending on weight, volume, and total mileage, so get a detailed inventory-based quote rather than relying on a rough phone estimate. Whichever pricing model applies to your move, ask for the crew size and minimum charge in writing, and confirm whether the number you're given is guaranteed or just an early guess that could still change.

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 Madison County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 37% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
