Moving Companies in Carthage, MS
Carthage moving costs come down to two main choices: hire a full-service crew with a truck, or rent your own truck and pay for labor only. Full-service local moves typically run $435 to $1,387 depending on how much you own, while hourly labor averages $90 to $105 per hour for a two-person crew and truck. If you already have a truck or a rented container, labor-only help is cheaper — a standard loading or unloading job runs $362.18 to $753.62 total.
Before you book, run through this short checklist:
- Confirm whether the crew includes two movers or more, since your hourly rate depends on it
- Ask whether the quote is a flat local rate or true hourly billing
- Check whether a long-distance move is priced by weight and mileage instead of by the hour
- Get everything in writing rather than relying on a verbal phone quote
Once you know roughly how many bedrooms you're moving and whether it's local or long-distance, the directory below makes it easy to compare who actually serves Carthage.

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 Leake 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.
