IRS county migration data for filing years 2022 to 2023 records 22,554 returns moving out of Canadian County, Cleveland County, Oklahoma County and Pottawatomie County, the counties Oklahoma City sits in, and 24,733 moving in. A return approximates a household rather than a person. Those filings cover 40,839 individuals leaving and 44,087 arriving.
Oklahoma City spans 4 counties, so these figures cover all of them: Canadian County, Cleveland County, Oklahoma County and Pottawatomie County; returns moving between those counties are removed rather than counted as moves out of Oklahoma City.
The counties receiving the most households from Canadian County, Cleveland County, Oklahoma County and Pottawatomie County were McClain County (1,053 returns), Tulsa County (1,044 returns) and Logan County (919 returns).
Arrivals came mainly from Tulsa County (1,106 returns), McClain County (813 returns) and Logan County (776 returns).
These figures come from federal tax return data and cover all household moves, not only those using professional movers.
How many licensed moving companies are registered in Oklahoma City?
The FMCSA motor carrier census lists 137 registrants carrying household goods whose physical address is in Oklahoma City, and 37 of those are classified by FMCSA as interstate operations. The census records the city name as the registrant filed it, and "OKLAHOMA CITY" (135), "OKLAHOMA" (2) all appear for Oklahoma City; the total above sums them. That figure counts companies whose federal registration lists an address in Oklahoma City. It is not the number of companies that will serve a move there: a mover registered in a neighbouring city can take the job, and a company registered in Oklahoma City may not.
Moving crews quoting Oklahoma City work Bricktown, Midtown, Plaza District, Edmond, Nichols Hills and the surrounding areas.

Jim Freeman founded A-1 Freeman Moving Group in Oklahoma City in 1974, and the brand now covers several separately incorporated regional companies operating as North American Van Lines and Allied agents. Its own regulatory disclosure lists multiple USDOT numbers, including the van lines' registrations, which belong to the van lines rather than to A-1 Freeman. The group table on this page names the registrants the federal census returns for the brand.

Which movers are federally registered in Oklahoma City?
33 companies with a Oklahoma City address on their federal registration hold a granted household goods authority from the FMCSA, and 13 of those identify as a moving business in their legal or trade name. The 13 listed below are the ones registered with the agency longest, ordered by the federal registration date, earliest first. Registration age is the agency's own record. It is not a ranking, it is not a quality judgement and it is not a recommendation.
177 active registrants in Oklahoma City tick household goods among their cargo types on the census form, and 86 of those carry any authority row at all. The cargo tick box is filled in by the registrant, so this list uses the agency grant instead, then sets aside general freight, trucking, logistics and courier registrants that hold the authority without presenting themselves as household movers. It is not every mover serving Oklahoma City: a company based elsewhere may serve the city, and a registered address is not a service area.

Data as of 2026-08-15 from the FMCSA company census, with authority status as of 2026-08-16. The query behind this list. Information provided by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
Does a federal registration mean a Oklahoma licence?
No. Federal registration and Oklahoma authorisation are separate. The list above shows the federal record only, and we have not verified whether any company listed holds a Oklahoma licence or permit.
A mover operating inside Oklahoma needs the Intrastate Household Goods Carriers Certificate from the Oklahoma Corporation Commission, Transportation Division.
Oklahoma issues the certificate itself and requires a $7.00 identification stamp on each vehicle operated under it, so the vehicle stamp and the certificate copy carried in the truck are the practical proof of Oklahoma authority.
When is the cheapest time to move in Oklahoma City?
Peak demand across Oklahoma runs April–September. Dates outside that window, and dates away from the last and first few days of any month, are where carriers have spare capacity — and spare capacity is what makes a crew negotiable on price.
We do not publish a percentage saving for moving off-peak in Oklahoma City. We hold no month-by-month booking price data for this city, and a discount figure taken from a national average would not describe this market. What we can say is structural, and it holds in every market:
Mid-month beats month-end. Leases and closings cluster at the turn of the month, so that is when crews are fully booked and least flexible.
Mid-week beats the weekend. Saturday is the single most requested moving day; a Tuesday or Wednesday competes with far fewer households for the same trucks.
Off-peak beats April–September. Outside the peak window, carriers are trying to keep crews working rather than turning jobs away.
Flexibility is the lever, not the calendar alone. On an interstate move, giving the carrier a pickup window of several days rather than one fixed date is usually worth more than any single date choice, because it lets them combine your shipment with another on the same lane.
The only reliable way to price a specific date is to put the same date in front of several licensed carriers and compare written estimates. Ask each one what the same move costs two weeks earlier or later — the gap between those two numbers is your real off-peak saving in Oklahoma City, measured on your move rather than on an average.
A tip is never part of a written estimate and never part of a binding price. It is discretionary, it is paid per mover rather than per crew, and it is handed to each mover directly at the end of the job rather than to the foreman to divide. Our working guideline scales with hours rather than with the value of the shipment, because that is how moving labour is actually priced:
$10 to $20 per mover for a job of two hours or less.
$20 to $40 per mover for a local move under four hours.
$40 to $60 per mover for a full day, meaning six hours or longer.
These are a BestMovers.info editorial guideline, not a survey result. We hold no tipping survey for Oklahoma City and no federal record covers gratuities, so nothing here is a local figure. Read the full tipping guide for stairs, long carries, storage and interstate deliveries, where the crew that loads is not the crew that unloads.
Where can you get free moving boxes in Oklahoma City?
Free boxes come from businesses that receive stock in cartons and throw the cartons away, and from households that finished moving last week. The sources are the same in every city, including Oklahoma City:
Liquor stores, which have the sturdiest small boxes with dividers
Bookshops, for small boxes rated for weight
Grocery stores, for produce boxes
Offices, for paper boxes with lids
Appliance and furniture retailers, for large flat cartons
Buy Nothing groups and Facebook Marketplace
Craigslist free listings
The U-Haul box exchange
Anyone in your building who has moved in recently
Ask in the morning, when the overnight delivery has just been unpacked and the cartons have not yet been flattened. Skip anything damp, greasy or previously used for produce that leaked. The free boxes guide covers how many you need by home size — those counts are BestMovers.info planning estimates rather than measured figures — and which boxes are worth buying rather than scavenging.
There is no separate cost dataset for Oklahoma City. Using the national estimate, a one-bedroom local move is estimated at $420–$930 and a two-bedroom local move at $630–$1,395, while a two-bedroom interstate move from Oklahoma City is estimated at $3,000–$7,000. Final price depends on distance, packing services, and date.
When is the busiest moving season in Oklahoma City?
Late May through August is the peak window in Oklahoma City, with the heaviest volume around month-end weekends. Established companies commonly book out several weeks in advance during this period.
Should I get an in-home estimate or an online quote?
For local moves under 2,500 lb, an online or phone estimate is usually accurate. For interstate moves out of Oklahoma City or 3+ bedroom households, request a video survey or in-home estimate so the binding price reflects your actual inventory.
What's the most reliable way to verify a Oklahoma City mover?
Check the company's USDOT number on the FMCSA SAFER website, look at their BBB profile and current accreditation, and read recent reviews on Google and Yelp. Avoid any mover unwilling to share a USDOT number on request.
How long does a typical Oklahoma City move take?
A 1-bedroom local move in Oklahoma City usually takes 3–5 hours with two movers. A 3-bedroom local move runs 7–10 hours, and most movers won't book a same-day move past 4 PM start time.
How we evaluate Oklahoma City movers: we verify federal registration and operating authority against FMCSA records, record carrier or broker classification, and note state licensing where the state regulator publishes it.
