Moving Companies in Aberdeen, SD
Pricing in Aberdeen splits into two paths: hourly local labor, or a full crew-and-truck package. Individual movers typically run $80 to $95 an hour, and a standard two-person crew comes out to around $175 to $186 an hour combined. A straightforward loading or unloading job, or a short local move, usually totals $330 to $730.
Full-service local moves — truck, crew, and transit together — start around $692 and climb into the thousands depending on whether you're moving a studio or a four-bedroom house. If you'd rather handle the driving yourself, renting a truck runs $58 to $132 a day for local trips, or anywhere from $367 to $5,796 for a longer haul.
The first real decision is labor-only versus full service: hiring just the muscle to load a truck you've rented is the cheaper route, while paying for the whole package trades cost for convenience. Either way, ask for an hourly rate with crew size spelled out before you commit, since a two-person crew and a four-person crew bill very differently for the same job.

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 Brown County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 76% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
