What a move costs in West Virginia

| Home size | Local (hourly) | 1,000 miles |
|---|---|---|
| Studio | $235 – $375 | $3,375 – $4,500 |
| 2 bedrooms | $475 – $775 | $4,500 – $6,000 |

How this list was built, and what it is not
Every carrier that moves household goods must register with the FMCSA. We pulled the register for West Virginia, kept carriers with active status that declare household goods cargo and whose name identifies them as movers, and ordered them by registered fleet. That is the whole method. Nobody pays to be here and we re-rank nothing.
It is not a quality ranking and not an endorsement. Fleet size is self-reported, some genuine movers trade under names our filter misses, and a registration says nothing about how a crew treats your furniture. Use the USDOT number to read the record, get a written estimate after a survey, and refuse a large deposit.
Before you call a West Virginia mover
Know what the move should cost first. Popular moving routes in West Virginia prices every route we cover out of the state, within it and to every other state, by home size; the West Virginia moving cost guide has local hourly rates city by city.
Movers in West Virginia — questions
How many licensed moving companies are there in West Virginia?
24 carriers based in West Virginia are active on the FMCSA register with household goods declared and a name that identifies them as movers (pulled 2026-09-23). 14 of the 24 listed here hold interstate authority; the rest work within West Virginia only.
Who is the largest mover in West Virginia?
By registered fleet, Walker Transfer-Powell Llc in Kenova with 16 power units and 14 drivers, on the register since 2016. Fleet size is self-reported on the carrier's MCS-150 filing and says nothing about service quality.
How much do movers cost in West Virginia?
A local move in West Virginia is billed by the hour: roughly $40 to $50 per mover per hour plus about $75 travel, which puts a studio at $235 – $375 and a three-bedroom home at $795 – $1,425. Leaving the state, movers price on weight and distance — a three-bedroom home over 1,000 miles is about $5,175 – $6,900. The calculator prices your exact route.
Does a mover need an MC number for a move inside West Virginia?
Not federally. A move that stays inside West Virginia is regulated by the state, and the carrier needs a USDOT number plus whatever West Virginia itself requires. The moment the move crosses a state line, active interstate authority (an MC number) is mandatory. Check both on the FMCSA register before signing.
Is this list a recommendation?
No. It is the federal register filtered to movers and ordered by fleet size. Nobody pays to appear and we re-rank nothing. Use the USDOT number to read each carrier's safety and complaint record, then run the six checks on our moving companies page.
