With a population of about 40,000 and 143 FMCSA-registered household-goods carriers based in and around the city, Dover has a well-developed moving market for both local and long-distance work.
Local moves inside Dover are quoted by the hour: expect around $135 per hour for two movers and a truck, $180 for three, and $225 for a four-person crew, usually with a two- or three-hour minimum plus a travel fee. 103 of the local carriers hold interstate authority, and 93 report operating beyond 100 miles, so long-distance capacity is reasonable.
Dover is relatively spread out (1,654 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.
