Moving Companies in St Johnsbury, VT
St. Johnsbury sits in the Northeast Kingdom, and because few large movers are based in town, most jobs are handled by crews traveling from Burlington or central Vermont.
Local hourly rates generally run $150 to $250 for a standard crew and truck. A studio or one-bedroom move typically costs $400 to $900, while a two-to-three-bedroom home runs $1,000 to $2,500. Long-distance or interstate moves are priced differently, often starting upward of $3,000 to $6,500 or more.
Because the town is fairly remote, expect a travel or fuel surcharge covering the crew's drive from their base to your home and back. Heavy or awkward items — pianos, safes, gun cabinets — and third-floor walk-ups usually carry extra fees too, so mention them when you request a quote.
Spring mud season can leave some rural roads weight-restricted or impassable for a full-size truck, and winter crews may refuse an unplowed, icy driveway for safety reasons. Because local options are limited, regional companies book out early for summer and fall, so it pays to reserve well ahead and insist on a binding, not-to-exceed estimate rather than a rough phone quote.

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 Caledonia County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 54% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
