Assuming a three-day job and a three-man crew the math works out to:

  14000/(24*3*3)
  64.81481481481481

about sixty-five bucks an hour. [0] OP doesn't mention if the house was packed up into a container to be loaded onto a train (as you suggest would happen), but -given what I've seen and heard of long-haul house movers doing- I find it much more likely that the house contents were loaded into a truck and that truck driven cross-country.

The BLS claims that median pay for tractor-trailer drivers is ~$28/hour. Paying a little more than double that for a competent pack, load, haul and unload seems fair to me.

Now, how much does getting your packed belongings into that container, getting the container to where it can be loaded up on the conveyance, then getting it to where you can get your belongings out of the container, and your belongings into your house cost?

Do keep in mind that there are a whole bunch of places that absolutely would not permit you to drop a twenty-foot steel shipping container out on the street for an extended period of time, and others who won't let you do that without a permit.

[0] I'm fudging the numbers a bit because I can't be arsed to figure out how to work out the "blended" rate for "Five men for two days to pack/load and unload and one man for two days on the road".
